Jackie and her daughter, Passion, currently live in Chesapeake. Jackie grew up on the Northern Neck. She and her siblings (three brothers and 1 sister) were raised by family, mainly the Aunts – they were separated as kids but have grown closer with time. Jackie has a dream of a stable environment for Passion. Jackie has worked for Smithfield Foods for the past eight years and now does document filing for the company. 
She wants to be a homeowner and very much desires a place that she (and her daughter) can call home. Jackie had previously applied for the Habitat program when she lived in Newport News. At first she wasn’t accepted. Jackie did some research and over the next few years moved to South Hampton Roads and worked on her credit. She was selected during spring 2010.
Jackie is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s from St. Leo’s. She graduated in May 2011. Passion, age 14, attends Crestwood Middle and will be an ninth grader fall 2011. It looks like 2012 will shape up to be a great year for this family!
