I am using HandUp so I can have stable housing and take care of my children.
My name is Vanessa, I'm 33-years-old, and a mom of five children. I am from Detroit, Michigan. I went to Wayne County Community College for some time but then stopped. I'd like to go back to school so I can become a medical assistant.
I am homeless because my previous landlord failed section 8 inspections.
I started my own business, Vee's Biscuits of Soul and have a business plan that's already done. I'm currently working two jobs to take care of my family and whatever is left goes right back into my business.
Cooking is my happy place. I am proud when I achieve my goals, like starting a business. I hope to see my food being sold in stores soon!
I'm raising money for housing expenses so I can be able to move into my own place.
I'm raising money for family needs so I can purchase a vehicle.
I'm raising money for microwave so I can eat hot food.
