I’m a 65-year-old native Denverite. I am a tennis coach for kids at a recreation center, and in the summer I work in the park. I have always worked and still am but I’m not making enough money for rent. I went to Clark College in Atlanta, GA and got a Bachelor’s degree in business and minor in marketing. I played tennis in college. When I came home, I would coach citywide sports. I have worked multiple jobs in my life.

I get along with people and I am kind to people. I have a good appetite and need to keep food available. While I didn’t have my place, I learned how to not waste food. I was motivated to work on my situation. No one is going to do it for you. You have to do it yourself. I didn’t give up. There is a lot of stuff we take for granted, like sleep. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
