About me.

I'm from Detroit and I've been here just about 49 years. I worked at the Salvation Army thrift store for 6 months last year, but am currently looking for employment. I have worked as a cashier many times and also have experience in housekeeping. I am looking for a job within that field.I have seven children in all but only two are until 18 and with me.

My backstory.

I am currently homeless and the reason is because of the house fire in 2017. I also lost my job around the same time as the fire. After the fire I stayed in an abandoned house for about three months until I came to COTS homeless shelter with my daughter. I have my housing voucher but cannot move in until my security deposit is paid.

My goals, moving forward.

My goal is to get my housing situation established, find employment and to better my life and move forward.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

What makes me happiest is seeing my children and grandchildren happy. If I had a roof over my head I would have more time to spend with them and knowing that makes me happy.
