I'm raising money for basic needs so I can purchase food and clothing for my family.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

I would like to be able to buy more food for my family, especially for my son who is growing, and also for our family dog. Also, I would appreciate assistance with clothing.

About me.

My name is Maria and I live with my two children in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. After several months in a family shelter, we moved into a 1 bedroom apartment. According to the building rules, my husband cannot spend the night with us. So, he has to spend the night on the streets or shelters if he gets a bed. We are currently looking for employment, but it has been very hard.

Thank you so very much for anything you can donate to our fundraising campaign. My husband, children and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
