Jonathan's new furniture have given him a stable and comfortable home base! Aug 3, 2016
We just got word from Jonathan's validator Laura at Berkeley Food and Housing Project that Jonathan has received his furniture. Laura says,:
"Jonathan's new furniture was delivered recently and he could not be happier! He has been working a full time job and loves coming home and being able to relax. Thank you SO much for your help!"
Overview
I am am new to the Bay Area from Georgia and am looking to establish myself as an independent person and start a new life. I love being around my friends and exploring new places around me. I look forward to continuing to make the Bay Area my home.
My ultimate goal is to own my own wholistic healthcare facility.
Right now, I am working hard to get a full-time position as a mental health worker to gain new experiences.
I need a functional sofa bed and some stools for my apartment. I currently have two chairs in my apartment and am sleeping on a inflatable mattress. I want to be able to make my apartment my home.
Getting furniture will help me create a home that I am proud of and comfortable in. Also, I'll be able to get a good night's rest and be my best self in order to reach my goals.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Jonathan fund this need.
