I need assistance with a security deposit to participate in a housing assistance program. This program will help me to get back on my feet, but in order to move forward I need to save for a security deposit.
I was born and raised in Mississippi. I am 47 years old. I have worked in construction, cooking, and I also have worked with people with disabilities. Although I lived in Mississippi for a long time, I also lived in Pontiac, MI, and have lived in that area for many years.
I was with my significant other for five years before a really bad break up resulted in me having to nowhere to go. I became homeless and have struggled to find stable housing. I recently was approved for a program that will help me to get back on my feet, but to get in I need to enter into an apartment that will accept the program.
After finding my permanent place, I want to rebuild my savings and set up my finances to keep stable. I started to go back to school, but my housing crisis made it difficult to continue, so I'd like to reconnect to school and get my degree.
I would like to settle down one day and enjoy life to the fullest.
I'm raising money for housing so I can have a stable place for my five children.
I'm raising money for Furniture and other Household Items so I can feel comfortable in my new apartment.
I'm raising money for an eviction so I can keep my kids in their home.
