I'm raising money for bills and essential items so I can relieve financial stressors.

Why I'm using HandUp for bills and essential items.

I am in need of insurance and could use help for catching up on expenses and future household essentials, especially while I am recovering from surgery.

About me.

I am from Cairo, Illinois. I moved to Detroit in 1982. I previously worked at Chrysler until 2009. I enjoy working out and socializing with friends and family.

My backstory.

I recently had knee replacement surgery, which has affected my mobilization. I will be looking at a lengthy rehabilitation process.

My goals, moving forward.

My goals right now is to recover from losing both of my parents. I look forward to moving on in the grieving process and try to connect with hobbies I used to enjoy. Returning to a sense of normalcy would be a huge step for my mental health.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

What makes me happiest is spending time with my family.
