Please give me a home or just a bed: Two Norfolk women plead for help to find a home [Video]

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — As the presidential candidates address the high cost of living, two Norfolk women are concerned about where and how they are living.

The owner, Carolyn Jackson, used to work with Belinda Deberry who was a certified nurse aide. Five years ago, Deberry ended up homeless. Two years ago, while visiting a Portsmouth neighborhood, Jackson happened upon Lestine Langhorn, who was emotionally distraught following the death of her son. Jackson, who owns a home healthcare business, opened her heart and her home to both women.
