February Newsletter: A New Beginning for the Hart Family
We are thrilled to announce our first family home build of 2025 for Sam and Brooklyn Hart! This precious family was officially approved for a home build last week and we are excited to break ground as soon as the weather permits! Sam and Brooklyn, along with their son and his dog, Milkshake, are so very excited to begin the lifelong journey of homeownership through and partnering with Habitat for Humanity. Brooklyn had to make difficult choices to protect and do what was best for her son, and now she wants nothing more than to give him a forever home. Having overcome substance abuse and other difficult life circumstances, the Hart’s are committed to building a life for themselves and their child - and that starts with a home of their own.
“And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”
Brooklyn first heard about Habitat for Humanity through her Granny, who would always talk about how wonderful Habitat was in church, to friends and family - to anyone who would listen. Her family’s home was originally built by Habitat for her Papaw who was in a wheelchair and needed accessibility. Brooklyn recalls fond memories of the home that stands to this day as a, “A beautiful, peaceful place to live.”
Through life’s hardships, the Hart’s have prioritized their sobriety over their personal comfort and have been actively seeking the stability and peace a home of their own could provide. While the Hart’s are grateful for the help of her beloved aunt and her father throughout their season of transition, it is time for them to move onward and upward; to build a home of their own and to spread their wings. Sam and Brooklyn told Habitat they are each other’s rock and safe space and now it’s time for them to build their new life together with those core values in mind. Sam told us, “God tells us to give all our worries and troubles into His hands and it will inevitably work out. ”
We here at Habitat wholeheartedly agree and can’t wait to share updates on this exciting build as they come!
