One of my passions is helping women stand on their own two feet to help them create the life they want. For the past 6 years, I have been honored to be a part of Habitat for Humanity's Women Build. When I build with this community, I work alongside the women who will someday own the actual houses we are building. It is inspiring to see the blood, sweat and tears they put in to make a better life for themselves and their family.
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.
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.
