Why We Build

🌳 Because of moms like Tracey, who says, “Living in this house is one of the most uplifting things in my life.”

🌳 Because of grandmothers like Luisa, who describes herself as a fighter but still needed just a little help to provide a healthier home for her grandson. “Because of Habitat, I have this house with everything better than it was before. It’s a total change, yes sir,” she says.

🌳 Because of kids like Samantha, who finally gets to put down roots. “This house just feels different,” the teenager says. “I know I am not going anywhere. And that feels good.”

🌳 Because the words of Millard Fuller still ring true today, “A house is to a family what soil is to a plant. A plant needs to be rooted. A family is like that. If a family is not rooted, it will not flourish. But once a family is well-rooted, all kinds of wonderful things will begin to happen.”
