Hello all! I am so excited to be a part of the Habitat Women's Build again this year and to join the Kelso team. This is a non-for-profit that is near and dear to my heart as I too have struggled with housing issues when I was a child. My hope is that I can not only bring awareness to the housing needs of so many, but also to educate other on how Habitat not only provides homes for those in need, but they help educate and teach individuals about home ownership and how to successfully manage a household.

In my previous builds, it was my honor to work alongside the soon-to-be homeowner that was working toward their dream. Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. However, it is a tool that far too many women are not educated on.
 
This October, I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside "550" determined women to help build a home for a deserving individual that has been working hard to make having a home their reality.

Together, we will help a homeowner alongside Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live.  
 
You can make a difference by helping me reach my fundraising goal so we can change the lives of these women forever and prove that there's nothing a group of committed women can't do. 
 
Change happens one person at a time. I appreciate any support you can give; big, small, or somewhere in between. 
 
Thanks!
Jen
