“THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!” ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE.

THANKS TO COMMUNITY LOVE IN ACTION, THE FOLLOWING FAMILIES HAVE

SAFE AFFORDABLE DECENT HOMES.

This shack was the former residence of a hard working struggling family of seven in our

community. Their present Habitat for Humanity home is the result of a great community

spirit of putting neighborly love into action.

In 2002 and 2003, 18 minor children from five families along with their

parents moved into Habitat homes in our community. The parents put

hundreds of hours of sweat equity into the building of their new homes

while working diligently along side community and visiting volunteers.

Five of these precious little ones and their parents previously lived in a deplorable shack that had the foundation collapsing, the windows were

covered with layers of shredded polyvinyl to keep out some of the cold,

and the hot water heater did not work.

Four of the children from a second family were homeless and slept on

grandma’s living room floor while mom and dad had to sleep in a small

camper trailer in the yard.

The third family with five children was extremely overcrowded living in a           very small mobile home inadequate for a family of seven.
