I'm raising money for basic needs so I can help to keep my dear friend Vera healthy and safe**.
Verified by Project Homeless Connect.
Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.
Since Veras surgeries several years ago, she recovered well, her stroller doubles as a bike trailer, so I got an ebike, and we have been exploring SF parks, beaches and visiting all the dog parks to this day. We still play accordion in the BART station. A couple weeks ago, Vera and I were attacked by a couple pit bulls, I was bitten on the arm, and it wasn't too bad, but Vera needed surgery, and the Vet bill was $1600 dollars. The owner of the dogs is irresponsible and hostile with mental health issues, so there's no way to make them accountable. We just need a little help paying the bill. Thanks Robert V Doerr and Vera
About me.
I play my accordion and hang out with Vera everyday. I take care of her and she takes care of me. Vera and I have a lot of good friends in the community. She is a great friend of mine and everybody!
My backstory.
I used to experience homelessness and addiction. I have been clean for fifteen years. And since then, I have secured housing and have focused on taking care of myself and Vera. And giving back to the community by playing my accordion for all of the daily commuters in the Civic Center Station.
My goals, moving forward.
