MEET OUR FAMILIES
Our next homeowner is a single mother to three wonderful children. When she is not working, she aims to be a positive addition to the lives of others around her by expanding her territory of volunteer work and through her strong belief in the Bible. She has been with Habitat through the struggles of the Covid-19 pandemic and says that even with difficult times, she’s been surrounded by a wonderful group of God-believers who have uplifted and stood by her family through their Habitat journey. Her heartfelt prayer is that those who are assisting the family and volunteer building their home receive double blessings for their efforts. She finds solace in the serenity prayer, seeking the wisdom to distinguish between what can and can not be changed. Her goal is to have her Habitat home paid off within five years and to continue helping others in her same situation. She states “Habitat for Humanity has illuminated my life and my children’s lives, offering hope for families that follow us. As we move forward, the lyrics “ain’t no stoppin’ us now, we’re on the move, ain’t no stoppin’ us now, we’ve got the groove” ring true, reflecting our determination to overcome obstacles and embrace positive change.”
