Homeowner Spotlight: Meet Tamika
|
|
|
"I'm grateful for the blessing of our new home for me and my boys. Thank you so much for making my dream possible!" These are the words Tamika wrote on the front wall of her future home.
Tamika and her son Charles joined volunteers from Publix and Florida Hospital to help build her home and a brighter future. After completing 300 hours of sweat equity and hearing words of encouragement from her grandmother, who is also a Habitat homeowner, Tamika's hard work paid off when she saw her home come to life.
Please consider making a donation online today. Your investment in Habitat Greater Orlando will provide strength through shelter while building a better life for more homeowners like Tamika.
