Home for the Holidays: Give to the Max for Habitat

Corrine

Corrine, a single mother of two, yearns for a place to call home. Her daughters, Jayla, bright and curious, and little Demi, a bundle of joy, deserve a safe and stable environment to grow and thrive.

Having witnessed the transformative power of homeownership firsthand through her brother and sister-in-law's Habitat build, she's eager to create a stable and loving home for her own family.

Corrine's journey to homeownership is not just about four walls: it's about building a legacy. She envisions a future where her children learn the value of hard work, financial responsibility, and pride of ownership. By participating in the construction process and working alongside Habitat for Humanity, the Family will gain practical knowledge and skills that will benefit them for years to come.

Imagine the joy on Jayla's face as she helps her mom work on their future home, or the excitement in little Demi's eyes as she explores her own room. This new home is a symbol of hope and a foundation for a brighter future.

Angel

Angel and her two children, Kris and Emily, are incredibly grateful to Habitat for Humanity for making their dream of homeownership a reality.  This is a goal Angel once thought might be out of reach.  

A woman of unwavering strength and positive attitude, Angel has faced numerous challenges. From growing up in poverty, to raising her older siblings' children while still a child herself, to navigating the complexities of single parenthood, she has emerged as a resilient force.  Now, with Habitat for Humanity's support, she's writing a new chapter. Having the ability to purchase her own home is a testament to her dedication and a beacon of hope for her family. As she works tirelessly as a CNA with plans to pursue her LPN, Angel is determined to create a better future for herself and her children.

Angel’s future home, already affectionately named Gwendolyn, was built by Habitat volunteers over a decade ago.  The previous owner, recognizing the transformative power of homeownership, sold the house back to Itasca County Habitat for Humanity so another family can have the start she did.

Let's come together to make Angel and Corrine’s Families dreams a reality. With your support, we can provide them with a place to call their own, where they can create lasting memories and build a stronger, more secure future.
