Homeownership is one of the most powerful ways to create a strong, stable foundation for the future. However, for too many women, that door remains unfairly closed. 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. 
 
Thats why this October, I'm rolling up my sleeves and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside hundreds of determined women to change the story and 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.  
 
I'd love for you to be part of this. Whether its $5 or $500, every donation helps knock down these barriers and put real keys in real hands.

Let's show what's possible when women come together with purpose.
 
Thank you for supporting this mission - it truly means the world. 
 
Thanks!
Melanie
