New Family, New Friends

When a new family walks through the front door at Habitat, it isn’t long before they are considered part of the Habitat family. This is especially true for future homeowner Anna Mosesova. I can remember the first day Anna stepped over the threshold into the front office, her smile alight with hope and her heart eager for a chance at the new life homeownership could offer her and her four children. I placed an application in her waiting hands, and Anna left with the promise of bringing it back the very next day.

Within days of the selection process, it was clear Anna was a perfect match for the Habitat for Humanity program. Not only did she meet all of the selection criteria, she shined with a spirit of gratitude and a willingness to offer her time to the program. Staff and volunteers alike quickly grew to love Anna and welcome her into the Habitat family.

Now, only two months remain before the dedication of Anna’s brand new home, a home where she and her children can build a stable and safe future. Anna, like all families accepted into the Habitat program, is not only becoming a homeowner but a part of a community of families, volunteers and donors who stand up for a person’s right to simple, decent, and affordable housing.

I encourage you to walk through the front door at Habitat. Your new family is waiting.

Always, Valerie

Construction continues in December on Anna’s home.
