One night, Jackie’s house burnt down through a freak accident. Jackie and her husband had nowhere to go — thank goodness the firefighter staff called the Red Cross for them, got a few hundred dollars so they could go stay a hotel. She comes on the show to talk about the time her house burnt down and had to fight with the insurance company for eight months to pay her the full amount in her policy. She goes into detail who she hired, what she regrets not doing before buying a home insurance policy and what she’s most thankful for through this entire ordeal.
