When I was a young mother with three small children my husband and I , both working, struggled to buy our first home. After our purchase, it was difficult to even afford the very basic of needs for our family. Our mortgage took most of our income. When I found out about the Habitat for Humanity program I thought it was only for the very poor. But then I found out that the program was able to help families just like mine was. Once I started volunteering , I was able to meet the family working side by side with our volunteer team in building their home. This was a difference I could see locally. not thousands of miles away. I could actually meet the people I was helping and I knew I was making a difference for not only the family, but my community as well. The people who work and volunteer at Habitat are very dedicated people that truly care about the families and the community they live in. I was hooked the very first time I volunteered!
