habitat for humanity
this was during my week at the miami herald. mrs. donna let me ride along with her to this habitat for humanity assignment. dirt lot in overtown to colorful neighborhood in six months. most of the people there wanted to avoid the shiny lenses except for this friendly family. more than anything, they were proud of the fact that they built this house that they now own.
great-grandma was great indeed. she asked me about school and work and talked to me like i was one of her own. i complemented her leopard house gown. she sprained her ankle cleaning her house, so now she uses an old pair of ballet flats to walk around comfortably. she invited me to stay in her leopard-themed guest room sometime.
