From Recovery to Real Estate: Help Me Build a Better Future

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Walter King, and I’m a recovering addict who is 13 years into my recovery journey, working hard to rebuild my life — one step, one goal, and one dream at a time.

After years of struggling with addiction, I’ve done the hard work to turn my life around. I’m proud to say I’m clean, focused, and committed to creating something meaningful — not just for myself, but for others who’ve walked the same road.

My dream? To invest in affordable rental properties — not just as a source of income, but as a mission to provide safe, stable housing to people who need a second chance, just like I did.

Why I’m Doing This

Addiction took a lot from me — years of my life, relationships, stability. But recovery has given me something greater: purpose.

I’ve always been fascinated by real estate, and now I want to build a business that offers affordable, clean, and dignified housing for low-income individuals and families. Too many people are priced out, ignored, or treated like problems. I want to be part of the solution — starting with one property at a time.

Where Your Support Will Go

Your donation will help me:

Purchase my first affordable rental property

Cover closing costs, basic renovations, and repairs

Handle startup expenses (legal, inspection, insurance, etc.)

Create a strong foundation to grow responsibly and sustainably


I’m not looking to get rich. I’m looking to build stability, serve my community, and prove that recovery isn't the end — it's a new beginning.

Thank You

This isn’t just about money. It’s about hope, redemption, and believing that people can change. Your support will help me create something lasting — and hopefully open the door for others in recovery to dream big too.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,
Walter King
