I'm raising money for basic needs.

About me.

I've lived in a few different cities in the metro-Detroit area. My jobs over the years have taken me to different counties so I've been all over the place. I try to keep myself busy by volunteering at the homeless shelter where I used to stay. I also do odd jobs for my family around their homes. The more I keep myself busy helping others, the better I feel.

My backstory.

I lost my job a few years ago and had to move in with family. There was some family conflict and I was forced to live in shelters and on the streets. Through the help of SOS and many other partners, I've been in a housing program for 2 years and my life has changed for the better.

My goals, moving forward.

My current goals include giving back to my community by volunteering at a local homeless shelter. I used to stay there myself and I feel compelled to do what I can to give back when I can. I am also trying to start the process of applying for my Social Security benefits. I would love to be able to work, but unfortunately it's not a realistic possibility for me.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I'm a big Beatles fan. John Lennon is the one person I'd love to have dinner with someday!
