I'm raising money for a Vehicle so I can get around better because I have bone on bone Arthritis**.

Why I'm using HandUp for a Vehicle.

I am in need of help due to my arthritis pains starting to get worst about 2-3weeks ago. I try my best to get around with a cane or bicycle and try to get exercise, but the pain takes over. Having a car will allow me to move around to get to places I need to go.

About me.

I was born in New Orleans Louisiana, raised in Covington Louisiana. Moved to Houston in 1977 at the age of eighteen. I moved here to California August of 2017. I'm a very hard working individual with good work ethic. I have three adult children and two grandchildren.

My backstory.

A family member of mines moved back home and left me the apartment. I was paying rent monthly and then the rent checks came back to me due to not being on the lease agreement. I left for a couple of days and when I came back, they changed the locks. At that point I became homeless. I then was unable to obtain all personal items such as clothing, medical prescriptions, insulin. I'm currently working with legal agency's around this matter.

My goals, moving forward.

I'm looking forward to helping other's. Working on housing with homeless prevention and case mangers.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My proudest and most important in my life are my children and grandchildren. With the maturity of myself.
