“Becoming a homeowner through Habitat for Humanity has been the most predominant blessing in my life. I recall the stress and struggle of trying to make ends meet. I remember the hopeless feeling that I may not be able to always meet my daughters’ basic needs.
We have thrived in our home! Both of my daughters graduated from college and one has earned her Master’s degree. Ten years ago, I never would have dreamed that could even be possible.
Working on the jobsite filled me with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Working alongside volunteers from different generations and walks of life, was the best part of it all! It is humbling to know that hundreds of volunteers gave of their time, skills, and talents to invest in the future of my family. This has left a lasting impression on me.
Becoming a homeowner advanced and redirected our lives. We will forever be grateful for Bergen Habitat for Humanity. You have restored my heart with love, hope and gratitude. Continue to be a blessing and be blessed!”
