IUSED2BU
My name is Sharel Jones. I spent years addicted, homeless, and invisible. Now I run a non-profit called IUSED2BU and show up for the people still out there. We feed, we clothe, we listen; and when you’re ready, we walk you into real care. No judgment. Just neighbors who won’t look away.

My Story
I started drinking at 14, cocaine at 16, heroin by 24, to numb the pain I never asked for. Fifteen, sixteen years on the street. At 31, the court and my sister pushed me into getting help. Ten years clean, I go back to the same blocks with meals, clothing, and a hand that doesn’t flinch.
I used to be you. Now I walk with you.
