Mr. Chappell is requesting the help of the community to pay for his application fee for his new apartment. He has been with Caritas since July and is working on securing a permanent place to call home in Richmond. He found himself in Richmond after he moved from New York to North Carolina to take care of his siter who had health issues. Sadly, his sister passed and the original goal was to relocate to Richmond with another sibling but that did not happen. Therefore, he ended up at the Caritas Emergency Shelter for a safe haven. He is a vibrant individual who enjoys making other people happy by his cooking abilities. His ultimate goal after becoming established in the area, is to start up a restaurant or cooking business to cook and make his fellow community "full". Therefore, he is requesting assistance with his application fee for an apartment he really wants.
