I'm raising money for my drivers license so I can drive legally.

Why I'm using HandUp for my drivers license.

Rena is now fundraising to get her drivers license. She has never had a license before and needs to take the written exam and then pay the license fee. Thank you all for considering donating to her!

About me.

My name is Rena Knott and I am from Detroit, MI. I spend my free time with my son who is 8 years old. We love to play games and watch movies. I used to work at Amazon but I had to let the job go because I did not have reliable transportation to get to the babysitter and to the job.

My backstory.

I had a baby when I was 16 and my mom put me out of the house and I became homeless. I have lived in my house now since 2014 and receive support services from COTS. I am so happy to be in housing after years of being homeless.

My goals, moving forward.

My goals are to get a good job, own my house and want a backyard for my son. I'd like to live in a family oriented community and eventually be able to travel. I want to be financially stable and own a car.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My proudest experience is being a mom. I love my son so much. I want to be able to help people like I was helped and give them hope.
