World Habitat Day

World Habitat Day:

Without a safe place to live, individuals are less likely to be healthy, less likely to be educated, and less likely to be able to take advantage of employment opportunities that could pull them out of poverty.To help address this need, the United Nations in 1985 declared the first Monday in October as World Habitat Day, which this year falls on October 1, 2018.
Habitat for Humanity participates in this international event because we know that adequate shelter is critical to improved opportunities, health and education.

Did you know:

• About 1 in 4 people live in substandard housing. If action isn’t taken, that number will grow to 2 out of 5 — the equivalent of 3 billion people — by 2030.
• Habitat works in nearly 1,400 communities across the U.S. and in over 70 countries.
• Through Habitat’s work each day, nearly 5,000 people find strength, stability and independence through safe, decent and affordable shelter.

Get Involved:

With your help, we can improve lives and communities — at home and around the globe. Follow our World Habitat Day event on Facebook to stay tuned for ways to help make a difference in the living conditions for families around the world.

Happiness + love + health + financial stability = HOME!

Happiness + love + health + financial stability = HOME!

Wouldn’t it be nice to help make this formula a reality for local family who is struggling?

Please don’t miss your LAST CHANCE to give an online gift to help Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, MO help more families during the Raise the Roof Giving Opportunity. Habitat is challenging you and other loyal supporters to give what you can by making a donation of any size by September 30.

Your gift will help Habitat make a life-changing impact on local families.

In my past few emails, I’ve shared stories with you about…

  • Samantha and her two young children who now own a home
  • Mindy, a single mother escaping a dangerous rental home
  • Susan, a single mother who needed an affordable home for her family

Each of these families is counting on you and Habitat to give them a hand up. And each family is stepping up to contribute what they can to make that a reality.

All we need is to hear from you today with your gift to the Raise the Roof Giving Opportunity.

Thank you, in advance, for thinking of a family who needs to escape a dangerous, overcrowded or unhealthy home. By helping our partners buy their Habitat home, you provide hope, a renewal and a sense of belonging to someone – when they finally earn the keys to their very own home.

Blessings,

Their House was Unlivable – Samantha’s Story

As you know, Habitat helps individuals and families build affordable homes year-round. Together with your gifts and support we also do so much MORE. In fact, you help us repair homes and revitalize entire neighborhoods.

Right now, you can help us do EVEN MORE for families in need of a stable home. Habitat is asking you, and other loyal supporters, to share our challenge of raising $4,000 in donations by September 30.

Countless families are still in need of a home that is safe for their children. Many elderly neighbors’ homes are in extreme need of repair. Neighborhoods need more support than ever to improve and provide a better quality of life for their residents.

Your gift will help us do more for families … like Samantha and her two young children.

Support during this Raise the Roof Giving Opportunity will help parents like Samantha and her children, Chance and Charlie, rebuild their lives… because nothing could have prepared them for being forced out of their apartment.

Samantha and her children were living in an apartment complex when she got the devastating news that her rent was going up and she wouldn’t be able to afford the higher rate.  She knew they would no longer have a place to live.

“I was looking at it and thinking, ‘I have no home to bring my children to,’ “That’s a real weight on my heart.”

Since leaving the apartment, Samantha’s family has relied on temporary shelter, shuttling between homes and staying with friends and family.

Now, thanks to gifts from friends like you, Samantha and her children were able to partner with Habitat to build a secure, affordable home where she can raise her children in safety.

Samantha’s gratitude is deep: “Thank you to those that have it in their hearts to care about the next person’s situation. Because you do not have to. Not everybody is compassionate enough to do that.”

Please help us Raise the Roof and meet our goal of $4,000. You’ll help us help parents like Samantha build a brighter future for their family today.

Blessings,
