BALTIMORE — Baltimore resident Sonia Street remembers when former President Jimmy Carter showed up 30 years ago to the property that would become her longtime home. She said that day changed her life forever.
Mr. Carter, who was invested in Habitat for Humanity for decades, died on Sunday at the age of 100, the Carter Center said.
“June 15th, 1992 at 8 o’clock in the morning, I’ll never forget it,” Street told WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren. “That’s Jimmy Carter. He’s coming to you. I said I really like this man.”
Street still lives in the home on Gilmor Street in West Baltimore’s Sandtown neighborhood. She told WJZ she adores the 39th U.S. president who helped her build the home.
