Hear from Those You’ve Helped
Stories of Gratitude, Hope, and New Beginnings
“Everyone should have the opportunity to call something their own and that they can pass on to their family. It’s truly one of my biggest accomplishments.”
Jane
Habitat Chesapeake Homeowner
“I am a single parent of three who went back to school to further my education. A high-interest student loan can oftentimes be a barrier when you want to move forward with the next phase of your life. Habitat for Humanity gives you hope and opportunity.”
