One of the Habitat homeown- ers has officially paid off her mortgage!
Colorado County Habitat for Humanity Board President Shalor Townzen and Judge Leonard Peters recently signed the Re- lease of Lien, marking this huge achievement.
Though she wishes to remain anonymous, the homeowner shared her heartfelt reflections on
the journey to becoming a full- fledged homeowner:
“I absolutely loved being a Habitat homeowner. Everyone involved was SUPER nice. For anyone thinking about applying for Habitat—you should do it. Me and my kids were overwhelmed with joy when we were chosen. We went from sharing a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment to a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home. I prayed every day—sometimes multiple times a day—and God answered my prayers,' said the new homeowner.
'I also enjoyed being able to help another family—whether it was cleaning, or helping with lunches.
The homeowner knows she couldn’t have done this without help as she said, "To the Habitat donors and volunteers … thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It takes a special person to do what you do. You are generous with your time, and you make sure others have what you have.”
“This is what Habitat is all about-partnership, prayer, prog - ress, and the power of communi - ty," said CCFfH Executive Di -
rector Charmaine Katz.
