Volunteers, most of which were women, partnered with single mother Stephanie Dixon to build a three-bedroom home in the Natchez neighborhood of Franklin, TN. Stephanie is a Franklin native who has been employed with APCOM, Inc. for the past 31 years. Ms. Dixon has an eleven-year-old daughter, Ronesha, who is very active at West Harpeth Primitive Baptist Church where she sings in the choir and dances with the praise team.
