About me.

I am a person with a big heart and I believe in helping others. I used to be the one whom people could turn to and ask for help. Unfortunately, life had a few unpleasant surprises for me and now I am suffering with clinical depression and a disability that will follow me for the rest of my life. I treat others with respect and the way I would want to be treated. Unfortunately, not everyone lives this way but I am a believer of a power greater than myself and I'm at His mercy. I choose to live this way and leave my troubles with God. Asking for help is not easy, but I want to reach stability for my life.

I am a single father of three beautiful children. I am a family man and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my children. Right now my children are not with me, but I am trying to become a better person and show them that they can achieve their goals by leading as an example for them.

My backstory.

I moved to Oregon two years ago from California for a better life than the one I knew. I found peace in this beautiful state. Unfortunately the people I considered friends at the time showed me otherwise. It's their irresponsibility and myself for trusting them that I find myself under these circumstances. I am now homeless living at COI. I have no family in the area and no one to help me. Opportunities here are slim for me because of my disabilities.

My goals, moving forward.

I was a full time college student before unforeseen life events that brought me to homelessness. As soon as I am able and find a place of my own, I am returning to school to finish my degree. Everything will change because I will be in the driver's seat. Stability is what I need and a helping hand will help me achieve these goals.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My goal is to graduate from college so I can be a living example to my children that perseverance and hard work can pay off.
