I am using hand up to get some assistance so that I can give my children a better life.
I am a 26 year old female, I was born in St. Louis, Missouri. I relocated to Michigan when I was 4 years old. I was employed in July at a nursing home until they cut my hours and shorted my checks so I ultimately left that job. I have had a few other jobs but I didn’t have transportation and that made it hard to keep a job. I am close with family and friends but they have their own lives and are unable to help me out.
It was hard for me to find a job after losing my job because of the pandemic and it just left me more and more behind on bills. Which ultimately left us homeless.
My goal moving forward is to secure a job, I now have a car which makes it easier to keep a job. I want a house for my kids to live in and to grow up in.
What makes me happy is seeing my kids happy.
I'm raising money for security deposit so I can move into housing.
I'm raising money for my electric bill so I can make sure my electric isn't shut off.
I'm raising money for secuirty deposit so I can obtain affordable housing.
