Overview
I am a currently living in a work release facility. I am a recovering addict with 22 months sober. I work full time in a CNC machine shop where we use calipers and micrometers everyday. I do not have my own so I am constantly having to use my co-workers. Funds are very tight for me because I pay rent every week to the work release center and pay child support for my son and daughter. My son is 16 and my daughter is 10.
My goals are to stay clean and sober. Be the best dad I can be, and become a CNC machine programmer. In addition to my work release job, I am a trainee at JARC.
I need a metrology measurement kit and work boots.
Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to excel at work and ultimately become a CNC machine programmer and be able to provide fully for my kids.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Doug fund this need.
