As a Realtor, I know homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. Sadly, it is a tool far too many women have difficulty accessing.

From gender pay gap to uneven child care responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, these and other barriers make homeownership hard to achieve.

But I'm doing something about it. I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining in Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 300 other powerhouse women to make a difference.

Together, we will completely fund and begin building the home, celebrating all of the women purchasing affordable homes with Habitat for Humanity Chicago.

You can make a difference. Help me reach my goal so we can change the lives of these women forever and prove that there's nothing a woman can't do when she sets her mind to it. I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between.

Thanks!
Joelle
