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.

St. Louis giving Philly a run for it's $$$

Where to begin!? One of the hardest entries yet; everything was just indescribably awesome. Symbolically it was a great stop to make: start of oregon trail. Stayed at Hucklberry Finn Hostel and received gracious hospitality from Becca who put up with my endless banter. On lulu's strong recommendation I visited the City Museum<c pic>, and was swept off my feet, sometimes literally. What I thought would be a short stop turned into my whole day! Scarlet, an employee there, was an awesome playmate and guide and made sure I still got my workout on my day off. Sweaty, bruised, and beat I made my way to the Loop, where Ponyo was playing... been waiting forever to see it! Scarlet met up with me there and we found other avid bicyclists all gathered for special screening of Veer, film about Portland bikers... Ahh! With the Tour de Missouri coming through in just a couple days, I felt like it'd be
easy to stick around and get swept up by St. Louis, but the west calls! (and the weathers chang'n!)
