I'm raising money for basic needs.

About me.

I lived in Michigan for most of my life, but moved to Florida for a while. Before moving down South, I had received a DUI and tried to renew my license years later while in Florida. I was unable to do so and it took me a long time to resolve the issue. When I moved back to Michigan, I was very depressed and in a bad place and was unable to properly take care of myself, which is what led me to become homeless.

My backstory.

Hello, Thank you to those who have helped so far. I am extremely grateful to South Oakland Shelter for allowing me the opportunity to enter their program. I now have a fresh start from the impossible situation I was in.

My immediate needs such as housing, food, physical and mental health were met along with many other resources such as here on HandUp.

I am now in my last weeks here at South Oakland Shelter and, with their help, I found and am approved for permanent housing in my own apartment! Please, any donations will help me move in and be able to have a bed, dresser, couch, cookware, and dishes.

Thank you again.

My goals, moving forward.

My goal is to completely end my homelessness and to get the emotional and mental help that I have been needing for a long time. I am hoping that when I am stable, I will be able to help others the way the have helped me!
