Vincent + Gentile
After living in a refugee camp for 20 years, Vincent and Gentile were able to move to the United States and start their family. Becoming homeowners was their greatest dream. “Where I grew up is not anywhere I wish anyone to be. I have always had a dream of changing my life.”
Vincent discovered Habitat as he drove through Southeast Fort Wayne and saw Habitat homes under construction. When he got home Gentile told him of a friend who had been accepted into the program and they knew it was worth a try. After being accepted into the Homeownership Program, Vincent shared that you learn the value of your home through volunteering on the construction site and attending classes.
