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.

Battle fought in the dark

After a slow paced day of touring the gettysburg battle fields I retire to my tent... Only to find I've been beat by a large bumble bee (the kind everyone say doesn't sting, but I can say first hand they do). Possibilities that crossed my mind:
running from the tent waving my arms wildly and screeming explicatives
recruiting help from the neighboring boy scouts and feigning a severe allergy
abandoning the tent for the night, week, my life, whatever necessary
requesting to borrow the friendly canadians' car to steam roll the tent and its fearsome contents

ultimately, he decided he didn't like me either... But how can i be sure he was alone?

    Funny, I had a battle with my own bumble bee in the office yesterday and, fortunately, I was victorious.
