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 are unjustly denied access to. From the gender pay gap and its impact on credit profiles to uneven childcare responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, to higher rates of mortgage denials despite payment performance, the hurdles keeping women from homeownership are high. 
 
This October, I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build with a team from my company alongside 550 determined women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help women become homeowners with 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!
