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.

Along the way to Lexington from Berea I met a fellow biker who guided me in all the way to the street I was looking for. We rode together for maybe 20mile. Everytime I get the chance to ride with someone I'm so grateful. All the climbs just dissapear amongst the chat. Yesterday I met Sam, biking east, his parents were joining him for a short leg. One would bike, the other would drive all the gear, then trade. It seemed like it could be a good break. They shared with me so much food! I also spent some time with Bernie who treated me to a sandwich and I wished me lots of luck. I hope I can catch Jon and James (they are almost two days ahead of me since I detoured). But maybe someone else will catch me!

    Hi Jac! Read a few of your postings and enjoyed them. We're in La Crosse, Kansas tonight and headed off the route, using Hwy. 4E, towards Kansas City. Met Katie and Rocky today in Arlington at the rest stop. They asked about you and couldn't believe how far you've come. Hope all is well with you. Good job getting over Hoosier! Take care. Dorrie
