Hi, my name is Janelle Woodton and I have lived in Delaware for seven years now. I have five children: four girls and one son. My daughters are Janiah, who is 19, Jameah, who is 17, Jada, who is 13, and Jennah, who is 12. My son is Troy Jr. and he is 15. We also have a dog named Jewels.

As a family, we like to go to the movies, amusement parks, sporting events, and the beach. We live in expensive housing that requires me to work two jobs to maintain my bills. We feel our living situation is stressful at times and there are times when we don’t have the things we need.

We have moved five times since 2008. This will be our last move to our own home. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime.

Habitat will enable us to spend more time as a family because I will only have to work one job. We will now have a place to call home. This will be our last move.
