I’ve been a single, disabled mom for ½ of my 40 something years providing for my girls all by myself. I have been working hard to support my girls (they’re higher maintenance than boys are).
I always wanted to own my own home. It finally happened, “I Thank God For It.” I also thank Habitat for Humanity and everyone else who’s included with the program. “God Bless You All!!” A house that God had for me is one of his plans.
I’m blessed for have been chosen/accepted by Habitat for Humanity.
I know I’ll be a “Good Homeowner,” I love house cleaning, just love decorating, the up-keeping of my place inside and outside. “I ‘m very good with my bills.”
It’s like a beginning of a new life for me and my family. My daughter Myra is a blessed, anointed 9 year old child, who has talents in singing, dancing and acting. Myra has performed in school plays, at her church (and out and about as well, I think she just can’t stop moving).
We’re needing a stable home, a safe environment and neighborhood that is one of my goals. Due to didn’t have enough income, living on month to month (once a month disability income). Living in low income apartment complex, unsafe, drug infected, high crime area, shooting going on where you were scared to lay in your bed or sit in your living room area, instead lying down camping out in the hallway of your apartment from the bullets. You didn’t know when someone was going to beat on your door looking for someone who owe them drug money, not knocking but beating on your apartment door. Unknown folks coming in and out of the apartment building hallway smoking marijuana leaving it smoky and smelling strong, then the smoke fumes come through under my apartment door and makes me and my 6 year old sick. My car windows gotten broke out, the apartment complex would not replace broken outside light bulbs. The office would say it cost them too much money to keep replacing light bulbs.
I was disgusted, depressed. When I was trying to move from there I didn’t know where to move for the low income I have, you just move into the same environment.
I always wanted to be a homeowner of my own home. When applying to mortgage companies they turn me down due to my low income, so I always felt I’ll never get a chance to ever become a homeowner until now. “Thank you, Jesus making a way.”
