Overview

My current situation is that I am living in a homeless shelter and am currently attending classes to get my degree in psychology. I would like to go into schools and be a counselor.

I need rolling leather backpack with a lot of pockets and mini notebook type laptop. Meeting this need will help me because the computer would help me with my studies and the backpack would help me to get around better.

My goal is to complete my degree in psychology, so I can move on to find a job and get employment. Which, will then help me move out of the shelter.

I'm from Philadelphia and I moved to Berkeley in 1990. I live in Berkeley, California, in a homeless shelter. Something interesting about me is that I am going to be a psychologist. I'm happiest when I am taking my school courses. I'm most proud of me going back to school to get my degree.

We met when she entered our Transitional Housing on May 25, 2013. I think meeting this need is important because Ms. Mac goes to school full-time and having a rolling backpack and laptop will benefit her greatly towards her schoolwork and help her carry her heavy books. She is a very nice person and recently she was suffering from cancer. She was going through Chemotherapy. Her cancer is in remission at the moment and she is doing well.
