Meet Lissette, one of our future Habitat homeowners!

Lissette is a single mother of three and an early childhood educator. For her, becoming a Habitat homeowner means security, stability, and the opportunity to build a brighter future for her family.

She is most looking forward to creating memories with her children, celebrating milestones, and having a place they can truly call home.

“This opportunity is the fulfillment of a dream I have worked toward for a long time. I’m proud of how far we’ve come, and I’m deeply grateful to Habitat for Humanity, the volunteers, donors, and everyone who helped make this possible.”

We are so excited to follow along with Lissette and her family as they take this next step toward homeownership. We can’t wait to see their journey unfold!

Follow along and help us celebrate Lissette and her family!

A secure home gives children a place to study, rest, grow, and feel supported as they navigate the school year. Donating the car you no longer need helps support affordable housing programs in your community and creates the stability and foundation many families need to thrive. 🏠

As we embark on the new school year, let's not forget the crucial role a safe and stable home plays in a child's overall well-being.

When you donate your car, you're supporting affordable housing programs in your community and helping create a secure environment where children can thrive academically and emotionally. Every child deserves a place to call home, a place where they can study, grow, and succeed.
