Whitney Kesner
A home represents more than just shelter—it’s a sanctuary, a place of refuge where love thrives, and memories are made. It’s my ultimate goal to provide my children with the same sense of security and belonging that I was fortunate enough to experience growing up. A home is not just a physical space; it’s a sanctuary where dreams flourish, and hearts find solace.
Travis and Sherry Sayer
Travis and Sherry have outgrown their current two bedroom one bath home on a rented lot and have been dreaming about a new bigger one. The kids would love their own space including a second bath so there will no longer be a line outside of the bathroom . They are so grateful for this opportunity to partner with habitat and be able to give their family that dream. They are also excited to get a fresh start in Ranchester where the children will have a safe community to grow up in. "Without the Habitat for Humanity we would not have been able to make this happen for our little family."
Gina Schoenfelder
Growing up with a single-mother with seven children, I was accustomed to living a nomadic lifestyle, often consisting of new states and uprooting our lives each year. Since I became a mother myself, all I yearned for was a structural stable home for my children. Something I have never experienced, I wanted so badly for my children to have. Having this opportunity is something out of this realm for my family and we are truly grateful and appreciative of this new chapter in our life. Habitat has created an amazing door for my family and I, and no words can express the amount of gratitude my family holds in their heart for this program.
Vanessa Long
Vanessa and her son Jeremiah will be building their home in the outlying community of Ranchester, where they have lived for over ten years.
​
As a single mom, Vanessa works multiple jobs in order to provide for her family. She says, "I have always wanted to have a home I could call my own for a long time." In their new home, she would have flowers and plants, and have a place for her son and dog to play outside safely.
