I am back in the community after seven months in the D.C. jail. It is a blessing to be back. I need to get a job and get to work so I can take care of bills and other things — like my Pepco bill. My water bill is covered because I don’t have hot water now. I have to take cold showers to stay clean nowadays. It’s also a little cold in my apartment.
I have to go to court in November because my landlord is pursuing me for a $55 charge. Instead of going to court, I feel like I should be working so I can make enough money to pay off the charge. My lawyer is trying to get me to move with my housing voucher. I would be so happy if I could move.
I’m asking God to help me get myself together, so I can be happy.
