- Shirley Stamps is one of those who will be moving into a house built by Rolling Fork Rising.

She was among hundreds of Rolling Fork residents displaced by the tornado to towns across the Delta.

We first talked with Shirley in December at the house she was renting in Greenville.

- And I'd like to take my grandkids and my child to a good, safe place.

And Rolling Fork was a safe place.

- What happened to Shirley is an example of how the tornado turned lives upside down.

For Shirley, the Rolling Fork Rising Program is a godsend.

Until now, she's been a renter.

- It helped me to learn to manage my money, be a first time homeowner.

I'll be owning my own house.

I won't have to rent no more.

And thank God.

I won't have to worry about renting from nobody else.

It will be my own.

And I thank God for that.

That's something I've been wanting all my life, my own, something my own.
