Family Stories
Liz
Liz is a proud single mom of three remarkable kids. Her oldest is a high-achieving high school senior deeply involved in sports, National Honor Society, and anti-bullying
initiatives. Her middle child is a spunky, nurturing preschooler, and her youngest has already faced-and overcome-more
medical challenges than most people face in a lifetime, including major
surgeries. Their family is rooted in resilience, love, and an unwavering belief that brighter days are ahead. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity, those days are finally within reach.
Their current home is unsafe. Mold threatens her children’s health, especially her youngest, and the home is nearly impossible to cool in the summer and expensive to heat in the winter. Liz applied for a Habitat home with one dream in mind: to give her children a safe, stable place to call their own.
Trey & Laura
Trey & Laura are proud parents to two young boys—Nash, age 2, and Rook, just 6 months old. As their family has grown, so has their need for space and stability. Until now, the four of them have been living in a small 750-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment located on the first floor of Laura’s parents’ home. While they are grateful for the shelter and support, the space has become increasingly cramped, and they have longed for a home to call their own. With the rising cost of housing, finding an affordable option has felt out of reach—until they discovered Habitat for Humanity.
Sunny’s Family
Sunny’s home is filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of life. As a single mother raising a large, blended family—including her own children, a bonus daughter, and a young granddaughter—Sunny has stepped up in every way possible to provide stability and care. “Whether she was born from me or not,” Sunny says of her bonus daughter and granddaughter, “it is my duty to be there as a mother to them as well.” Her unwavering sense of responsibility and compassion defines everything she does. What she needs now is a home that reflects the strength and love her family already shares.
Josh & Isabell
Joshua and Isabell are a devoted couple working hard to create a better life for their blended family of five. With three beautiful children, they’ve shared the dream of raising their kids under one roof, where they can grow, thrive, and make memories that last a lifetime. Currently, Josh lives with the older kids at his parents’ home, while Isabell and her son stay at her parents’ house. Weekends are spent traveling between homes, supporting one another, and making it all work—together.
