Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. Unfortunately, it's a tool to which far too many women are denied access. From higher rates of mortgage rejections despite superior payment performance, to childcare responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, and the still-existing gender pay gap which impacts credit profiles, the hurdles keeping women from homeownership are high. 
 
This October, I'm grabbing a hammer, strapping on a tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside hundreds of other women to help overcome these barriers. Together we will help 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 in helping me and my organization reach our fundraising goals and show that there's nothing a group of committed women can't do! If you are in a position to help this important cause, please... would you be able to donate today?
 
Any support you can give of any size will be amazing and truly appreciated. Forwarding this link to others to spread the word is also valuable! Change happens one person at a time and every contribution matters.
 
With warm thanks!
