This October, I'm putting my pink hardhat back on and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build for the THIRD time.

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, to uneven childcare responsibilities, to higher rates of mortgage denials, the hurdles keeping women from homeownership are high.

Together, over 750 women will help fellow Chicago women become homeowners, by building homes with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to championing healthy neighborhoods by investing in resident priorities, building quality homes, and supporting homeownership.

This year Women Belong's Team Gratitude will be building in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, where I did my first build in 2023 and Habitat Chicago has been working for a few years - https://www.habitatchicago.org/neighborhood-impact/west-pullman

Last year, I raised over $1,500, and I'd love to make it over the $2,000 mark this year! You can make a difference by helping me 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.
