Habitat Success Stories

Jimerson Family

My name is Kiwana Jimerson and I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I have two handsome sons, Christopher Pepp Jr. who is 24 and Christen Pepp who is 21. I’m so proud of my boys; they are hard workers and I’m so happy that we were approved for a Habitat home.

I’ve always worked in healthcare and I’m presently a home health aide. I was blessed to have a friend Vicki who told me about the program and thanks to her I’m on my way to owning my own home. I would also like to thank God for Habitat, the employees, especially Emily for giving me this wonderful blessing, volunteers, my family and everyone who made this possible for me and my family. Thanks!
