Why I'm using HandUp for Rent.

I’m fundraising for rental assistance of first month's rent and community fee! It will cost an average of $1000 for me to secure and apartment at this Senior Complex.

About me.

I would be eternally grateful for help from generous donors who can assist me in living by myself at this point, and time in my life. I was for over 5 years assisting my Mom as her caregiver and after her passing moved to the Lansing-Holt area to stay with my daughter temporarily, for over 18 months. Moved back to the Metro Detroit Area the early part of June 2019! I'm seeking financial assistance to become stable again! After my funds ran out, I found myself seeking shelter assistance and was accepted into the South Oakland Shelter! I have a few physical challenges and have a business I can work when my mind is clear to focus.

My backstory.

I’m in this situation because my mom passed away and a younger sister has appointed herself to now be the family Matriarch in place of my Mom. Her control could be remedy in the courts, but I don’t have funds for litigation! My mom home is in an older neighborhood and I’m concern about family humiliation as younger family members watch unnecessary drama of a court dispute. So, I find myself searching for a place to call home! I’m a person of peace, not a fighter in matters of destruction! I moved with my daughter in Lansing and tired of sleeping on the sofa, as Metro Detroit Area is where I belong! My medical appointments and my PO Box bring me back to this area consistently! I would like to promote my business from the Southfield area, when I can set -up a small office to make calls from a landline phone.

My goals, moving forward.

I can now live alone and have a place to call my own! I did find an apartment place I’d like to live however, that rent is $1049 a month without subsidy of financial support. However, the July Special is Half off for the first 3 Months. They will be also excepting my housing voucher whenever, it is activated! I’m also searching for a good part-time position for the long-term commitment to assist in monthly rental cost.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I Will soon be turning 65 years of age in September of this year! And praying I can eliminate storage fees by being in a place of my own!

Can someone please help me to reach my goal? Please know, when I am established, I have every intention of paying it forward!

Thank you!
