Hello, my name is Bertha, and I am a Habitat for Humanity homeowner since 1998.  It is a blessing to have the opportunity to be a homeowner, which is an American dream.  I am thankful to this organization to give families this opportunity at an affordable cost to be homeowners.  I try to get the word out to family and friends who are renters about going to the organization and fill out an application.  Whether or not you feel as though your credit isn’t in the best of shape, at least if you are denied they will inform you on what you need to do to get it to where they can approve you.  And the best thing about getting a home, besides getting a home, is the fact that you help build it from ground up.  So Habitat for Humanity isn’t a charity where they just give you a helping hand, but a hand out to help you pull yourself up so that you have the opportunity as anyone else to be a homeowner.
So I say thanks to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for introducing me to Habitat for Humanity!
