Last year i found myself homeless. After battling cancer and a never ending battle with Sickle Cell, I had to make a choice. Pay rent or pay my medical. My medical was HUGE and I knew I could be without. So I took the chance to and paid medical and didnt pay rent. In February I was asked to leave the place where I was living for not paying rent.
In the middle on homelessness the cancer came back for the 5th time. My Sickle Cell has been a major problem for over three years now. But despite all of this going wrong in my life, I found the courage to reach out to others who were homeless like me. Later I reached out to low income families and seniors
Feb 3, I celebrated the one year birthday of my outreach project. It's called Do Something Saturday~ that empowers people. Through this program I pass out hygiene kits, water, food and clothing I am able to collect. I also help people set up email accounts and with the help of an awesome friend I also offer cell phones for free.
What I have learned through all of this is my ability to move forward no matter what is in front of me or how much pain I am in. There are times when I feel like just giving up, but then I see the face of someone smile at me and tell me how much I have helped them. I get the courage and power to move on.
If you would like to check out my channel on youtube then follow this link. I have video there of all the things I have done and I now talk about things I am dealing with as well.
