I'm raising money for housing so I can move.

Why I'm using HandUp for housing.

I am using HandUp so I can have stable housing and take care of my children.

About me.

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.

My backstory.

I am homeless because my previous landlord failed section 8 inspections.

My goals, moving forward.

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.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

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!
