Two new families have recently been approved into the Habitat program. The first is Latasshia Davenport who is a single mom with 3 boys and a girl ranging in age from 10 to 15. She works full time as a home health aid and can't wait to get started working on her hours out on the jobsite. Despite her extremely busy schedule, this lady has such contagious enthusiasm! Lisa McClure and her 13 year old daught Emily have also been approved. Lisa is in school full time for nursing and takes care of her daughter who has severe disabilities. Her extremely positive attitude stands out to all who meet her.

With these two new families, we now have total of 10 families approved into the program and working on their sweat equity hours and classes. These families include: Star Hogan (House #105-the Apostles Build); Jason and Tamera Morgan (House #104); Tim and Angel Young (House #106 which will be starting the first week of May); Wendy Tipton (House #107 which should start around the end of May to early June); Jerry Burns; Sherman Bennett; Shirley Cole; Jen Spencer; Latasshia Davenport; and Lisa McClure. As you come out regularly to the job site, you will have a chance to work alongside some of these families and get to know them a little better. There are a few families who are primarily putting in hours at the ReStore because of various disabilities. We in the office have a chance to see all that each of them have gone through to get to this place of becoming homeowners--these folks are truly a remarkable group who have overcome many obstacles and are determined to achieve this lifelong dream. They are so thankful to Habitat and to the many volunteers like you who are making it possible!
