Because of this house poetry

When we ask Habitat homeowners what their homes make possible for them, their answers — just as they share them with us — fit together like poetry. The powerful poetry of lives changed and futures transformed.

Because of this house

The struggle is behind me now.
No more stress, no more pressure.
I’m independent.
I can live more freely.
I can go forward.
I have a new outlook on life.
I feel very empowered.
I know who I am, and I know I matter.
I’ve been able to complete my education.
I can save more.
I have financial freedom.
I am no longer in a poverty mindset.
We are much healthier.
My children flourished.
Everything changed.
I am home.

Because of the houses they help build, more families are home. Because of the houses you help build, more families can know everything that “home” makes possible.

“Each part of this house has somebody’s sweat, somebody’s prayers, somebody who gave. This was built with love.”
