WINONA, Minn. – A Winona mother and her teen-age children will own the 53rd Habitat for Humanity home in the area. Chosen for the house were Jarreahea Webb, who recently completed nurses assistant training, and her 18-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son Mari. The house will be in the East End, said Habitat spokesperson Jesse Darst. Ground-breaking will be later this year. The Webbs are helping build the house, Darst said.

Darst: “They’ve been in town for about eight years living in an apartment. Even though we have no family support here, we’ve managed to stay focused and apply ourselves.” The family came from Chicago in 2014 with three totes of clothes and found an apartment.
