About
Hello my name is Shiemesha Curtis, I am a single mother of two little ones. I am currently a stay at home mother/college student so indeed my hands stay full. My drive and motivation has led me to become a student in the Bachelors Program in hopes of continuing my dream to being in the
"Human Services" field. My goal is to gain a future for my children and have a blue print so when they get of age they will be better prepared to continue on the legacy of financial stability and prosperity.

I Engage in acts of kindness and treating homeless individuals with respect and empathy which are important activities that can make a significant difference. Giving to the homeless has a profound impact not only on them but also my community.
