I wouldn't reach out if I didn't think it was a worthy cause. Please read through, and if you are in any situation to donate, please consider doing so. I was informed of this opportunity by a friend, and I couldn't pass up the chance to be a part of such a wonderful cause. Having grown up in a woman-led household, I'm so grateful that we were able to have a stable home situation. However, I know there are so many that were/ are not as fortunate as we were.
Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future, but it is a tool that far too many women are unjustly being denied access.
From the gender pay gap and its impact on credit profiles, to uneven child care responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, to higher rates of mortgage denials despite superior payment performance, the barriers keeping women from homeownership are massive.
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 knock these barriers down.
Together, we will completely fund and begin building the home of a woman-led family AND celebrate all of the women purchasing affordable homes with Habitat for Humanity Chicago.
You can make a difference. So many women out there just need help to get them on the right path. Sometimes just getting started is all it takes, and a stable home can be that start. 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.
