I am using HandUp because I am a single parent trying to get on her feet and raise my children the best way I can.
I'm from Battle Creek, Michigan. I am single parent of three kids. I worked for the government at the VA Hospital for ten years. In April 2022, I resigned due to medical reasons and then became homeless.
I am homeless because I have no income and cannot work due to medical reasons.
I am waiting for my retirement, disability, and SSI and to see if they will give it to me. I am seeking help because I do not have a support system. I want to be able to take care of myself and my kids.
My proudest moment was working in nursing, taking care of patients. I can't do that anymore and have to take care of myself.
I'm raising money for my phone bill so I can call about housing and employment.
I'm raising money for security deposit so I can have stable housing.
I'm raising money for a safe, healthy living environment for my family so I can Keep my family safe.
