Habitat for Humanity has played a large service role in my life from college in Tuscaloosa, AL to my first year in my new home of Chicago, IL. The staff of the organization embodies the most amazing combination of empathy and strength. I've learned through my encounters with Habitat that it is important to show up for people and offer what you can. Our community is calling us to show up! Help our team be that catalyst in the communities of Chicago by donating to our efforts.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

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 unjustly denied access. 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 superior 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 alongside 550 determined women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become homeowners with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
