Earlier in June, 6 members of the Darrell Waltrip staff helped construct a Habitat Home for Carmen Jackson and her daughter Bianca. The members of the staff included Beth Schaller, Tammy Padilla, Chaz Caldwell, Connie Cummins, and Bobby Groves. They helped paint the house, put up molding, worked on the roof, and cleaned the house for the family to move in on their dedication day.

Carmen and Bianca Jackson are originally from New Orleans; however, they lost their home during Hurricane Katrina and have since relocated to Franklin and have made Franklin their home. Carmen works for a local daycare and Bianca recently graduated from Franklin High School. They were selected by Habitat of Williamson County to receive assistance in owning their own home.
This is Darrell Watrip’s 8th Habitat Home to sponsor, and we already are getting ready for our 9th house to be built next year!
Congratulations to Carmen and Bianca- we hope you have many wonderful years in your new home and thank you to our staff for helping to make a difference in the Franklin community!
