Did you know that over 80% of Habitat for Humanity homeowners are women, and a significant portion are women of color? These incredible women are often the backbone of their families and communities, striving for a better future despite facing systemic barriers1.
By donating to Habitat for Humanity, you are not just building homes; you are investing in the strength and stability of women of color who are disproportionately affected by housing insecurity. Your support helps provide safe, affordable housing, which is a critical step towards breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting change.
This October, I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 780 determined women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become homeowners with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to championing healthy neighborhoods by investing in resident priorities, building quality homes, and supporting homeownership.
You can make a difference by helping me reach my fundraising goal 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.
