Verified by Lighthouse.
I'm using HandUp to help me payoff an old landlord judgment that has prevented me from obtaining stable housing.
I'm from Pontiac, MI born and raised. I'm a 38-year-old, single mother of 2. An 18-year-old boy and a 15-year-old daughter. I work full-time at an assisted living facility. I'm usually at work all the time, but when I do get free time I spend it with my kids.
I cannot find housing because of a landlord's judgment that I have on my credit from a few years ago. I've tried to contact the landlord to make a payment plan but I have had no luck. Every apartment or house I apply for, I get denied because of this and that's why I'm homeless now.
My goal is to get this landlord's judgment paid off so I can get housing.
Seeing my kids happy is what makes me happy. My proudest moment was when my son graduated from high school. At this moment I just want to be able to give my daughter a place to call home.
