About Richele

Richele Jackson and her two daughters, Iviana and Jasha currently share a two-bedroom apartment in a Philadelphia subsidized housing high-rise. While completing her 350 sweat equity hours that will be her down payment on her Habitat Home, she has held two jobs and often contends with a leaking ceiling and 12 flights of stairs when the building elevator is broken. With your help, Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia will complete her house. She'll pay a zero interest mortgage. The money generated from her payments and the 140 other Habitat families in Philadelphia empowers Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia to build more affordable homes.

You can help Richele achieve her goal of home ownership. On my trip I'll cross around 3000 miles of the US. By pledging dollars or cents per mile, by the time I jump into the Pacific Ocean, Richele could be jumping for joy. All donations should be made directly to Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia and are tax deductible.

44.8 miles done

At the campsite lastnight, got my tent up and a soggy bowl of rice cooked just before it started pouring. Ate my rice in the tent and promptly fell asleep. Awoke about an hour later as the rain was letting up and joined my neighbor Jay and son Avery for smores. For his living Jay invents stuff. One of his inventions is the spin-pop, how cool. Went to sleep around 10 and woke to more rain. I'm all loaded up now, and just waiting some of the rain out. It,s pretty darn heavy. Let's see how it goes.

    it's a lollipop that has a battery operated spinner. http://www.spinpopcollector.com

    If you read the history, Jay isn't mentioned, but maybe he works for one of the involved companies.
