With the weather getting colder and the night getting longer, I will truly appreciate if you can assist me with my utility bills. With your help i will be able to heat my house, keep my light on, and avoid exposure to the cold.
My name is Maurice and I have just been housed through the support of South Oakland Shelter. Four years ago, I lost my job and subsequently my home. Before becoming homeless, I received family support, but when they passed away, I found myself on the streets. Unfortunately, I contracted frostbite during these harsh winters and I have had some of my toes amputated. I still struggle with the pain from nerve damage. I am fortunate to have found support through South Oakland Shelter and Hand Up, and I am ready to get my life back on track!
I'm raising money for my license reinstatement so I can transport my son to doctors appointments.
I'm raising money for application fees/security deposit so I can move into a new apartment.
I'm raising money for paying off a landlord judgment so I can get stable housing for my daughter and I.
