Can you imagine raising four boys in a neighborhood where gangs and gunfire are commonplace?
Neither can we.
Just this past April, there were two shootings on the same block where Stacey Goods lives with her four sons. Yet, when a former co-worker emailed Stacey a Morris Habitat for Humanity application for homeownership, she wasn’t even going to apply. She was sure that the financial difficulties she had been having since she was laid off made the idea of a owning a home too remote to consider. Her youngest son, 15-year-old KyJuan, encouraged her to attend the seminar. He said, “You never know what can happen!”
KyJuan could see how hard his mother was working to regain her financial stability now that she had a new job. He knew how difficult it has been for him, his mom, and his three older brothers – Marquise, Faakhir and Sean - to squeeze into a cramped two-bedroom attic apartment. They have been working hard, going to school, and trying to make the best of the situation. But the truth remained that “on any given day, at any time, you can hear gun shots as if it’s normal.
KyJuan’s optimism paid off. As a new Morris Habitat Homeowner in Progress (HIP), Stacey and her family will help build their own three-bedroom home on Monmouth Avenue in Dover. Now it’s up to us to raise another $50,000 of donations and materials in order for construction to begin as soon as possible.
Please help! By selecting the “donate” button above, you will view a list of materials and the exact quantities needed to complete Stacey’s home. Your purchase of any of these materials will be tax exempt. The materials will then be delivered directly to us, and your work will be done! 100% of every dollar you spend will be used for the materials you select.
Let’s make Stacey and KyJuan’s dream of a stable home out of harm’s way a reality for their whole family. And let’s do it quickly!
Thanks for your support.
