Virtual Day of Giving - Saturday, May 15, 2021
              As we prepare for our Day of Giving event to sponsor our 14th family, we would like to
                  introduce you to our 12th and 13th Habitat families. These families have been
                           working towards home ownership alongside the volunteers.

Meet the Alfaro Family
Nora Alfaro has always wanted to own a home where her children can thrive,
and because of your support, that dream will soon be a reality. “Thank
you for giving us the opportunity to purchase our own home and have a
place where my children can be safe and grow up. We are so grateful for
everything,” says Nora. Nora is a single mother living with her two children,
Madelyn and Riky, in a small apartment. Not only do they live in an unsafe
area, but there’s also mold throughout the apartment, which has negatively
affected their health. The apartment is so small that her son Riky is currently
sleeping in the living room and doesn’t have a space of his own. Nora has
tried to purchase a home for years but could never afford the high mortgage costs. Thanks to your support, their lives
will change completely. “I’m most excited for my children to have their own room and space to grow up. When we
move in, Madelyn is so excited to have children her age to play with. We are so grateful,” says Nora.

Meet the Rodriguez Family
Mayra and Jose Rodriguez are thrilled to become future Habitat homeowners
in Port Hueneme and can’t wait to start building their future home alongside
supporters like you. Jose is a carpenter and Mayra is a Kindergarten teacher.
The couple is currently living with Mayra’s parents at their home. “We work
hard and want to start a family of our own, but also want to be financially
stable and have our own place for our future kids to grow up and have space.
Plus, we want our own space as a married couple. That’s everything a young,
hardworking couple or person should be able to achieve. I know this is a
struggle many young people just like us are facing,” says Mayra. When they got the call that they had been accepted, they
said it was life-changing and that everything is finally falling into place for them. “Thank you for your support, you and
all of Habitat’s incredible support system are making our dreams come true,” says Mayra.
