Meet Jacqueline Starns and her five children

The first thing you notice about Jacqueline Starns’ neighborhood are the broken windows. The Starns family lives in Dobbins Downs and their neighborhood is rough. Jacqueline's oldest daughter, Shemika, 19, says the windows were broken by kids throwing rocks.

Jacqueline has worked days in the deli department at Jerry's IGA on Kirby for seven years. Shemika works nights at PlastiPak, and between the two manage to take care of Altha, 16; Shalane, 15; Amy, 14; Sandie, 12, and Shemika's one-year-old, Arianna.

The Starns family's four-bedroom home will be built by Signature Homes during the Home Builders Blitz, June 5 through 9, 2006.
