"Having my own home has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. As a single mother with a limited income this dream seemed to be beyond my capabilities. Still, I continued to dream, hope and pray always keeping my eyes and ears open for a way. When I found an article about Habitat For Humanity’s plan to build four homes in Lyle, WA, my hopes were raised. After reading the qualifications I felt I fit into the criteria and decided to apply. One thing I have learned in my life is to not give up without an effort. It is easy to think you wouldn’t be ‘the one’ chosen. I decided to remain optimistic. I was so elated when I heard the news that I was selected to be a partner in buying a Habitat house. I am profoundly grateful for this program and all the many volunteers that make this possible. This is a life-changing event for my daughter and me. I am so excited and happy to participate in all stages of this process and join the White Salmon community. "
