  • As someone with limited mobility, I wondered how I would complete all my hours. Habitat worked with me and reminded me it’s not what I can’t do, it’s what I can do. I couldn’t have gotten through this program without the Habitat team cheering me on, I’m so grateful.

  • I’m overjoyed and overwhelmed. I never thought homeownership would be possible for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without Habitat, volunteers, and everyone who supports them this dream would not come true.
