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.

PLEDGING IS UP!!

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.

PLEDGE NOW

$1000 washer and dryer...
$2500 furnace...
$4500 kitchen cabinets and countertops...

Your Pledge!

Dear Friends,

You've heard my story, or at least a few brief great moments in it. Now, I'm asking you to follow through on your pledge to Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia, Richele, and Me! On my trip from Philadelphia to Portland, OR via the Pacific coast I traveled just over FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED MILES (4704.9 miles to be exact). If you've pledged a "one time donation," no math is necessary. Just send that amount to the address below. If you pledged cents/mile, no worries, here's what to do:

(pledge)*(4700 miles)=donation

My pledge amount as an example:

(01 cents/miles)(4700 miles) = 4700 cents = $47

Please use the online donation form at http://www.habitatphiladelphia.org/donate/ and indicate in the appropriate field: in honor of "Jacks Bike Ride". If you'd prefer to mail your donation:

Habitat for Humanity
1829 North 19th St.
Philadelphia, PA 19121

check memo: "Jacks Bike Ride"

And be sure to include a RETURN ADDRESS so Habitat can mail you a thank you card and you can get your tax deductions!

Thanks for all your support! If anyone has any questions about the trip or donating, email me back, or call!

Much Love,
Jack
