A New Start

摘要

A friend of Jolene Henry's recently bought a home in Sioux City, Iowa, by way of a sweetheart deal finagled through a relative. Henry was envious, in spite of the friendship. "I said, 'Oh, man, I really want to buy a house, but I don't have the greatest credit. I'll never be able to get one,"' she said. But the friend had a suggestion. What about the local Habitat for Humanity office? "I didn't think I'd be a person they'd want," said Henry, "but I figured I'd try. The worst they could tell me was no."
