I'm raising money for basic needs so I can get a job.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

I just got evicted. I was working as a gig worker for Moscone Center and the pandemic hit. EDD cut me off and I'm fighting for that right now. I haven't been paid since October 2020. So I'm just waiting for the money and trying to get my life back.

About me.

I'm from Marysville, CA and I've been in San Francisco since 1999.

My backstory.

I used to work with the City of Inglewood Planning Department and was working as a trade show associate with Moscone. The pandemic completely shut down my industry and ruined my life. I'm ready to get back to work and want to be productive.

My goals, moving forward.

The next step is my job. I'm already ready to get back to work but the pandemic is stopping my old job from starting back up again. Once I get my EDD I can get a job but you can't get a job on the street. It's impossible.

I just need a leg up for the short term until I can get back to work.
