My Nonprofit Reviews

Habitat for Humanity of Oakland has been wonderful to my family and I. I have several roles at Habitat, the first is that I am a Very Proud Homeowner. The home was built for my mother and I in the 2006 Blitz. Habitat built 5 homes in 2 weeks and we were blessed to be one of the families. At the time of the build I had just gotten out of the hospital and was not allowed to go on the build site, but I was allowed to work in the office for the 2 weeks and my mom would go on the site everyday. From the very beginning of the process it was a gift from god. The staff did everything they could to help us in every way. I became a part of the Habitat Family. Not only did Habitt build my family a home, I was blessed with two jobs, first as the front desk receptionist and for the past serveral years as a cashier/customer service rep in the ReStore. A few years after my home was built, my brother and his kids were blessed with a the first Habitat Rebuild. I was also chosen to be a mentor to some of the new partner families when they come into the program. Habitat is always looking for better ways to help the new families as they come in. We have such hard working, dedicated staff and volunteers. It is so rewarding to be not only a Home Owner but a part of the wonderful staff and organization. Habitat for Humanity Just Keeps Giving and Building Communities all of the World. It is Truly A Gift from God. Thank You! Floretta Turnipseed
