"I am writing to express my gratitude to you and the entire Habitat for Humanity team for the work you’ve done on our home. The new siding and front windows have truly transformed our houses, and I can’t put into words what a difference it has made for my family.
For years, my husband, our six kids, and I have lived in a home that, while filled with an abundance of love, has seen better days. We tried our best to make it work and stay positive, but there were days when we cried over the fact that the repairs we needed were beyond our reach. Looking at the crumbling siding was a constant reminder of things that we couldn’t fix on our own.
But now, thanks to you, that stress is a thing of the past. When we see our house now, we see security. We walk through the door and feel the difference. It feels like a fresh start for us. You’ve not only given us a home that is safe and comfortable, but you’ve given us a sense of dignity in our own neighborhood. You’ve also shown my children the power of community and kindness, and for that, I will forever be thankful.
Thank you, Luis, for everything you’ve done to help our family. Your hard work and the compassion you’ve shown to us have made our lives better. We are thankful for these critical home repairs from Habitat for Humanity and its impact on our lives."
