JESSE HIGGINS

My Father became very ill and could no longer complete house chores and duties so I took time off from working and moved in to help out. I would clean, cook, maintain yard, go shopping, and fix up the house. After a year of helping my father he got better and was able to move back home and start looking for work again.
