“Building my Habitat home means to me that I can give my daughter a better life. It means that I will get to grow as a mother and a person. Building the house will give me the opportunity to show people that no matter what life throws at you if you set your mind to it, you will accomplish your goals and dreams,” shared future homeowner Elena.
