I'm raising money for work clothing and shoes so I can perform my work better**.

Why I'm using HandUp for work clothing and shoes.

I am fundraising here because I have so few clothes. I need shoes and clothing for work. I have not been able to find my sizes by means of second-hand stores or clothing donation services. I need to be able to purchase my clothing sizes at stores. My work requires me to have durable clothing and shoes as I do a lot of heavy lifting and walk a lot.

** NOTE TO DONORS: We value your donations, and respect your intention to support people in need with their specific fundraising goals.

About me.

I have lived in San Francisco for 2 years. I was a college art teacher in St. Paul, Minnesota. Before that, I worked the front desk at a rescue mission in Santa Barbara, California. I am currently working three days a week.

My backstory.

My situation right now is due to economic limitations. I am currently living in an single room apartment, but my economic situation has not necessarily improved.

My goals, moving forward.

Ultimately, proper diet, exercise, and rest and to maintain a healthy life. Finding a career or a job that I feel is important to me.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Going for a long walk through areas of San Francisco is one of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy exercising.
