Success Story

Jamie is no stranger to bad news. Her path has not been an easy one.

Her family was living in a rental -- until the owner died, and the new owner didn't want to rent it out anymore. Jamie took that bad news and turned it into one of the biggest achievements of her life: becoming the first homeowner in her family. Then came more bad news. Thieves broke in and gutted the place, taking everything from appliances to the pipes in the walls.

So Jamie had to bootstrap the renovation of her home. Her uncle was her contractor. It took months of hard work by family and friends - even her 2-year-old pitched in!

Despite the repairs and construction going on all around them, Jamie's family celebrated Thanksgiving 2008 together in the new home. And they found plenty to be thankful for -- not least of which is the bright future ahead of them in their new home.
