Angel Harris once hoped to open a cleaning business with the motto: “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
But those business plans — and much of her life — have been put on hold.
Angel’s move to an older home on Milwaukee’s near north side in early winter 2020 began a chain of events that forced her and her husband, Dedric, to send their asthmatic children to live with a relative. It also triggered the Harrises’ asthma and forced Angel to return repeatedly to the hospital.
