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.

8/3/2009 Clay PA and York

Second day went very smoothly, except for the thunderstorms and flooded roadways. I was able to ride the bike through water 6inches deep, but all traffic had to stop for me to do. My bags really are waterproof! My boots however, lose the impenetrableness when the are submerged. While trying to dry them at a campfire last night I managed to melt them slightly... So today boots were soggy and misshappen. The weather on the other hand is perfect. Sunny and breezy, I took a local route from Clay to Litiz and it was beautiful, rolling hills with more downs than up. I feel like I'm starting to get into some kind of groove. I though I'd get away without walking the bike yesterday, but with a quarter mile left, I hidding behind a bend was the steepest climb I've yet seen. I didn't even attempt it and spent 10min pushing. Today, I managed my goal and made it to Tom's friend's(Josh's) house all
on the bike inspite of a surprise last hill. Hooray for Tom and his extremely welcoming friends! York!
