Join Melissa to raise housing Hope for Evan

Hi, my name is Melissa Guzman and I am trying to raise money for my friend who is currently homeless and trying to better his life. Here is his message, story, and thank you for your consideration of a donation.

Hi, my name is Evan Jones. I'm 28 years old, and I never thought I’d be in the position of writing something like this. But right now, I’m homeless and trying to get back on my feet. I’m reaching out in the hope that, with your kindness and generosity, I can find a stable place to live and rebuild my life.

Over the past few months, life has taken some unexpected turns. A combination of job loss, rising living costs, and personal setbacks led to me losing my housing. I’ve been doing everything I can to stay afloat—taking odd jobs, applying for work daily, and seeking out local resources—but without a safe and stable place to stay, it’s been incredibly difficult to move forward.

I'm not looking for a handout—I’m looking for a hand up. My immediate goal is to raise enough money to secure housing (first month’s rent and deposit), get some basic necessities, and cover transportation so I can continue job hunting and stabilize my life. With your help, I can finally rest without fear, focus on rebuilding my future, and become self-sufficient again.

What Your Support Will Help With:

* First month’s rent and security deposit

* Temporary shelter or transitional housing

* Food and basic hygiene supplies

* Transportation for job interviews and appointments

* A phone plan to stay connected with employers and services

Every dollar counts, and every share means the world to me. If you’re not in a position to give, simply sharing this page with others can make a huge difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m staying hopeful and determined, and with your support, I believe I can turn things around.

With gratitude,

Evan Jones
