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.

Historic Hagerstown it's Happening

After Gettysburg I visited historic hagerstown, childhood home to SleepyG, Greg-funk. Got in a little earlier than expected so I stopped in at the visitor center and met all the great people that work there. Who knew Hagerstown had such a big story to tell? Spent time with Mike Mittel of Hub City Sports... I was worried about a slipping chain ring, but Mike subdued my anxieties with some good advice and pleanty of good will. That night Karen, Steve and Pat entertained; good talk, nice bed, HUGE burger. 3lbs of beef divided 4 ways, with all the best fixin's. Delicious-Madness. Awoke early, thought to get a move on. Hung around a bit anyway.

No one can figure out my camera phone, including me. I have so many pictures of my own finger. This shot came about when I was asked to duck to fit in the shot; neither of us thought to point the camera up.
