I am on a fixed income and recently began working toward ending my homelessness. I currently have unpaid tickets that have resulted in me having a warrant. This warrant creates another barrier for me in trying to end my homelessness. Due to my fixed income, I am fundraising with HandUp for help with my ticket costs so that my current warrant can be cleared and I can have one less housing barrier.
I've been in Detroit my entire life. Most of my time is spent on just doing what I can to obtain a stable future for myself. That involves obtaining job certifications such as my OSHA certification and working when possible. I've mainly had jobs with painting and landscaping companies.
I feel as though what lead to my current challenges and situation was being taken advantage of by people. I don't want to blame anyone though so I just try to focus on bettering my situation.
Moving forward, I plan to end my homelessness and start stabilizing important parts of my life. I also plan to get a job again and save up money so that I can be a business owner one day. I hope to start my own landscaping company in the future.
I want to say that one day I'll get to have my proudest and happiest moment and that day will be when everything in life is going smooth and is stable.
