My name is Debra Taylor. I moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in March of 2011 from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Originally I am from Chicago. I am currently employed at the Bienville House, as a housekeeper. This hotel is an extension from the Monteleone Hotel. The hotel staff is like my family. I am very happy and grateful for New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity for helping me get a house. My goal is to bring my family to New Orleans. I currently rent a room with a shared kitchen. I can’t wait to have my own place and call it “my home.”
