“We’ve had a lot of barriers in life, but we never gave up on our hopes and dreams. As a family, we always strive for better. I never thought we would be able to buy a house. This will be a stable, forever home. We are so grateful.”
Habitat Families
This is a blessing
“My boys will never worry about having a place to stay. I’m working hard so they have better opportunities — I want them to have better than I have. I will kick down those doors so they can walk through them.”
– Joseph, Veteran + Habitat Homeowner
Our first home together
“We are so thrilled to call this home our own and for our family to grow and thrive in our new space.” – Rachel, Habitat Homeowner
Creating generational wealth
“This home is changing our children’s lives.”
– Vincent + Gentile, Habitat Homeowners
MADISON FAMILY
To call the Madison family hard-working is an understatement. Adam and Trisha both have physical limitations — Adam is legally blind while Trisha has been dealing with nervous system issues for her entire adult life. Despite their limitations, they find ways to help others in the community and are amazing parents to their three children while supporting Trisha’s brother who has Cerebral Palsy.
A Habitat home means so much to the Madison family. Their new home will be ADA-compliant, which means wider hallways and doorways to fit Trisha’s brother’s wheelchair and grab bars in each bathroom. They’re looking forward to the freedom that will come with a one-story home (no stairs to navigate and climb) built with their needs in mind.
“I want more for my babies. I want them to see that with faith and hard work, we can build something lasting.”
AALIJAH
As a mother of three beautiful girls, Aalijah has prayed for a place where her family could thrive. The first time she applied to Habitat, debt stood in her way, but instead of giving up, she took it as a sign to trust God’s timing. She tackled her finances, leaned into prayer, and when she applied again—she was approved! “Claim your Kingdom!” she declared, knowing this home was more than just walls and a roof; it was a promise fulfilled, made possible by the generosity of supporters like you.
Now, Aalijah is proving to herself and her daughters that anything is possible with faith and perseverance. She will be the first in her family to own a home—breaking barriers and teaching her girls what it means to be good stewards of God’s blessings.
Every family deserves a safe, affordable place to live, learn, work, and play.
This program is amazing for young people to own their own home and learn everything you need to know about homeownership.

“I want to thank God for allowing me to stand here. I see a lot of people my age who do not think about building home until their late 30’s. This program is amazing for young people to own their own home and learn everything you need to know about homeownership. Habitat makes you feel welcome, supported, and encouraged — they give you hope.
When God allows for you to live an abundant life, it’s not just spiritual it’s also financial. That’s what He desires for His people. I thank God for putting me in this position.”
“This home is everything. My girls can’t wait to finally invite their friends over for sleepovers.”
JADEE
As a single mom to four children, a Habitat home to Jadee means safety and security. She shared through tears that being a single parent is hard, but not having a roof over your kids’ heads is harder. Fortunately, Jadee has “a small village” surrounding her that has helped provide a place for her and her girls to stay while she’s working to complete the Habitat Homeownership Program.
Jadee was born and raised in Huntington and has worked at the same organization for 10 years. She is gainfully employed, has a strong work ethic, and loves her family, but Jadee needed an opportunity for affordable housing. Through Habitat GFW and the support of the Huntington community, she is seizing the opportunity to become a sustainable homeowner. “I’m learning about budgets, managing money, and how to be a successful homeowner. I’m tremendously grateful for what everyone is doing for us, thank you.”
