It seemed like a good place to start fresh. Rucker would be 15 minutes by bus from her sister and could send her daughter to a preschool at the end of the street.

Rucker and her high-school sweetheart, Tyquan Pleasant, had been living with their daughter in shelters for two years.

Jayvonna Rucker was eager to move into 808 Elsmere Place as soon as the building could take her.
