Habitat Success Stories

Ward Family

My name is Arlease Ward and I am the proud parent of two beautiful kids, Laekiva Ward and La’Geric Green. I graduated from George Washington Carver Senior High and attended Remington College for awhile. I now work at A.P. Tureaud Elementary as a Cafeteria Lead and at the Louisiana Superdome and New Orleans Arena as a Commission Officer. One of my greatest accomplishments in life was to own my own home. I feel like I’ve worked hard as a divorced single parent raising kids and trying to make their dreams come true. We all had some tragic moments in our lives, but by putting God first all things are possible. I’m glad to be a part of the Habitat family, and we’re happy to do our part to show that we are very appreciative. Thanks for the “hand up” and I will “hand out’ whatever I can to help the next family. This is truly a blessing for my family.
