I had heard about Habitat throughout the years.  I was first encouraged to apply 7 years ago from Carter’s ECE teacher. But it was when I was searching for a house so that Carter would have more independence.  I was living in a trailer home but the better part of his life.  I had to carry him up many stairs just to get to the front door.  And he was getting heavy.  

I am currently a part time student for Early Childhood Education and I am also getting paid to care fulltime for Carter.  In the near future I plan to specialize in Early Childhood Special Education. 

When we found out that we were selected to be a Partner Family, we were in disbelief and very excited.  This is the change we had needed for a very long time.  Moving into the new house will be a literal back saver for myself.  My kids will have more freedom and independence.  They will have a forever home.  Thanks doesn’t feel like enough.  I appreciate everything you do for families like mine.
