To help Antwoine heal and maintain

Donation protected
Hey, I’m Antwoine.

Some of you have followed my journey on TikTok just a few months ago I was living in a homeless shelter and before that I was incarcerated so this year has brought me a lot of obstacles that I’m still overcoming from living in a shelter to moving into my first apartment, starting welding school, and working toward a fresh start. A few months ago, I launched a “Stability Fund” and was blessed to raise about $4,800. That support helped me afford rent, food, and essentials when I had nothing. I used it wisely, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
But rebuilding doesn’t happen overnight. Right now:
• I’m still without a car, walking and bussing miles to get to class and back.
• I’m drained, physically and mentally — I haven’t had a single real break.
• I still need help covering everyday necessities (groceries, hygiene, etc.).

This fundraiser isn’t just about money — it’s about momentum. A used car would change everything. A two-day mental reset would help me stay grounded. And your support would mean I can keep going without constantly struggling.

If you feel led to help, I’m grateful beyond words. Whether it’s $5, $50, or a share, everything helps. I promise I’ll keep showing up, working hard, and making y’all proud.

This is the next chapter. Let’s keep building — together.

With love,
Antwoine
