Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

With your support I can continue to be the best mom I can be and provide my son with the best upbringing despite any downfalls.

About me.

I am Navajo originally from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. I have been living in San Francisco for the last 21 years. I am a single mom with a 16 year old boy who is currently in High School. I achieved my educational goals of a GED and an Associates of Arts degree. I worked for the San Francisco Unified School District. Now I am currently unemployed. My belief is culture is prevention through healthy lifestyles and wellness, I enjoy doing traditional arts and crafts of my tribe. This includes bead work, making regalia, painting, and quilt work.

I volunteer a lot in the Native American community. I sit on a lot of committees. I am someone who is committed to helping others in my community.

My backstory.

It is very difficult being a single mom in the city with the high cost of living, it is not within our budget or means to be able to afford a much needed laptop for my son's educational purposes.

My goals, moving forward.

My Goal is to be able to purchase two laptops, one for my son and one for myself.

My Son is now in high school, I would like to purchase a laptop for his interest in Music, Science, to be able to Complete Classroom & Homework Assignments, and to be able to Email his instructors with his homework, etc.., which I believe will add to and support his future towards his college success.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

My goal in life is to be the most involved mother that I can be in my son's life so that he can successfully complete high school and have success in his life. I want to support him through his teenage years in a positive and involved way. My biggest goal is to continue to have a stable, healthy and happy home for both me and my son.
