Why I'm using HandUp for a security deposit.

I am fundraising for a security deposit and to pay off debts so I can find stable housing.

About me.

I am a lifelong resident of Pontiac, Michigan. I am a mother of 10 kids, and I have been working at the Jay Shop since October 2023. I support my two minors daily with school and work. I am working towards my independence and coping with my disability that changed my life. I enjoy being with and doing things with my family.

My backstory.

I had a stroke in October 2023 caused by a spiritual attack. Right after, I started going to several nursing facilities for intensive therapy to help me regain mobility. I lost everything that I had: My children, spouse, home, vehicle, and my job all at once. I have since been working on rebuilding myself and my life from zero.

My goals, moving forward.

I have been strengthening my relationship with God, living the gospels' demonstrations, and having faith in his good work. This, too, shall rebuild my family. I have a strong work ethic and a supportive family that helps by believing and encouraging me, which keeps me going strong.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Knowing God has brought me through a very dark place, and he's renewing my heart, mind, and soul, and keeps a daily smile on my face. I am living in my proudest moments now, with my children coming back around, and it makes me very happy. The support I receive helps me feel happy and motivated.
