COLORADO COUNTY — The Colorado County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors is stepping up by offer- ing a $10,000 Board Matching Challenge.
Every dollar you give will be matched, dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity.
Your gift will directly support the construction of its 32nd Habitat home in Columbus for the Acevedo family, while also help with purchasing additional land for future Habitat homes.
Habitat’s goal is to raise $300,000 to build a safe, permanent home for Acevedo and her three young children, and to secure two additional lots for families still waiting for a place to call home.
Kristina Acevedo is a hardworking single mother employed at the local community hospital, and a two-year breast cancer survivor. When she first applied for a Habitat home, she was not selected-and shortly afterward, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Nearly two years later, Acevedo reapplied and was chosen as a future Habitat homeowner.
Today, her family is living in a rental home with a 'fail- ing roof that requires tarps, buckets to catch rainwater, and temporary fixes to keep ani - mals from entering.' A Habitat home will provide her family with a healthy, safe place to heal, grow and look toward a stronger future.
Your gift will also support the Critical Home Repairs Program, which primarily serves senior citizens in the county. To date, Habitat have helped 31 families and invested over $250,000 to help seniors remain safely in their homes.
Your support has always been the foundation of its suc- cess. Now, you have a unique opportunity to double the impact of your gift and help families move from uncertainty to stability.
