Overview
I am a single mother and a student. I'm about to start a professional education program in culinary arts and I am in the process of moving into my own room from the shelter.
My goals are to get my bachelor's degree and work in a restaurant. Eventually I would like to start my own restaurant business.
I need furniture for my new room, including a bed and mattress, dresser, desk, bedside table, and hot plate, as well as sheets, blankets, a fan, and some kitchen items.
Meeting this need will help me to start the journey toward my goals. Having my own space will help me focus and feel motivated as I work and start my education.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Heaven fund this need.

The Women's Project is an alternative to pre-trial detention program for women. I have known Heaven for over a year. She is an incredibly determined, resilient and hardworking person who is committed to moving forward despite what she has been through. She recently started working part-time at a restaurant and is really excited to further her career. Her new housing---which is not easy to secure in NYC---is the result of her determination and persistence and I am so excited for her to finally have a space and sanctuary to call her own.
