I’m asking for help during a difficult chapter of my life. For a long time, I’ve been caught in a cycle of unemployment and housing instability, doing my best to survive while trying to find a way forward.

Right now, I’m focused on meeting my most basic needs—safe shelter, food, and transportation —so I can regain stability. This fundraiser is not about giving up; it’s about giving myself the chance to stand on solid ground again. I’m actively seeking employment and working toward self-sufficiency.

I run a blog and a YouTube channel where I share my voice, experiences, and ideas. Creating has been one of the few consistent ways I’ve stayed motivated and hopeful, even during homelessness. My goal is to grow these platforms into something sustainable over time.

My blog and YouTube channel is a living body of work exploring relationships, spirituality, devotion, heartbreak, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to stay open in a complicated world.

I write performance poetry for people who think deeply, feel intensely, and refuse shallow answers—especially about love, God, self-worth, and becoming whole.

The funds raised will go directly toward essential monthly expenses, helping me reduce daily survival stress so I can focus on rebuilding my life, seeking stable opportunities, and continuing my creative work.

If you’re able to help—by donating, sharing, or simply reading—thank you. Your support gives me breathing room, dignity, and the chance to move forward rather than remain stuck in survival mode.

How This Leads to Self-Sufficiency

Stability allows consistency. When my basic needs are covered, I can show up regularly to write and create videos, grow my audience, and develop skills that can eventually support me financially. My blog and YouTube channel are long-term projects I’m building step by step—with the hope of monetizing through content growth, writing opportunities, and creative income over time. This fundraiser helps bridge the gap between survival and sustainability.
