WELLS FAMILY BIO & DIRECTIONS TO 4714 JOSEPH WILEY ST.

My name is Lorraine Wells and I am 53 yrs old. Currently I am employed as a security guard, and have worked for ABM Security for the past 5 years.

I am the mother of two beautiful daughters who are now grown and live on there own. My daughter Temake has three children and lives close by in Garland. My second daughter Tatiana also has three children and lives in Houston. My lovely mother is 82 years old and lives with me. I enjoy taking care of her as well as well as playing bingo, decorating and my joy is going to church.

I look forward to having a home of my own to share with my mother and grandchildren. It is a dream come true.

A thank you note from Lorraine:

"I Lorraine Wells would like to give all praises and honor to my heavenly father. I would like to extend my thanks to Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity, my sponsor, and the volunteers. Thank you all for this wonderful opportunity that I have longed for, thank you and may God bless and keep you all."
