Thank you from Kamil Dec 31, 2013
I would like to thank those who donated the funds for me to buy the necessary clothes to further my education and work career.
When I first arrived to Berkeley I was shocked because of my living situation that I cried and didn't know what to do. I met Ms Crystal Cremer at the BFHP one afternoon and my ENTIRE life turned around immediately. I went from no hope to believing that I can and will accomplish anything I set my mind to.
Ms Cremer helped re-do my resume, and from there on I filled out 25+ resumes and applications, several job interviews throughout the metropolitan area. Ms Cremer believed in me so I stayed faithful to her and seen her for several months straight by only sticking with her agency. I Thank God for strong, compassionate for life, woman like her. She is totally professional and she really cares about finding a job for clients and their well-being.
My life has completely changed cause of Ms Crystal Cremer, that this is jus t a little words to express my appreciation and respect for my Employment Specialist. I would recommend her over anyone.
Sincerely
Kamil

Overview
I need professional interview attire. This includes two pairs of slacks, two dress shirts and one pair of casual dress shoes. Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to have the self-confidence and the working wardrobe when meeting with employers.
My current situation is I am a homeless veteran residing at a men's shelter. I have been homeless for approximately five months.
My goal is to obtain full-time employment in order to achieve the financial stability I will need to eventually find housing. I'm a very compassionate and spiritual man who believes that no matter what your goals are in life you can achieve anything.
I'm from Detroit, MI, and I live in the Men's Shelter in Berkeley, CA. Something interesting about me is that I am the oldest of four siblings and a 3rd generation military brat. I'm happiest when I listen to music and meditate alone. I'm most proud of my accomplishments as a parent and the goals that I have achieved thus far.
I have two boys and two girls. My oldest child is a United States Navy Mid-Shipman, stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Need funded!
