build #66 with the Ford family
Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex is excited to be building in Kingsville with the Ford Family to help them build a safe, decent, affordable home that they can call their own. Sons, Kaleb and Dakota have a rare autoimmune disorder and their mother Melody is challenged by mobility issues due to complications from birth.
What will a Habitat Home mean for the Fords? A dream long since forgotten. Melody will be able to move safely and freely in an accessible home designed to meet her needs and allow her to care for herself and her family without fear of falls and trip hazards. The boys will be free from the worry of contamination in their brand new home – food will never have touched a surface without Charmaine and Melody’s knowledge. That sense of security and well being is priceless. Health of their family no longer in question, the Ford Family will be able to put down roots and focus on their lives together and the future for their happy family.

build #67 with the Fortuna family
Nicole and Serafim, with their two sons Dean and Logan, will soon have a real HOME.
The Fortunas have been navigating the waters of the overpriced rental market and geared to income housing wait lists for years. With the current housing sales market they have been flipped out of their homes so many times the boys no longer unpack. The temporary accommodations they managed to find were in areas where crime flourished, with rents that left the family financially overwhelmed. The Fortunas yearn to establish permanence in their community and provide the stability and security for their sons.
With your support the boys will now know that they can graduate from the high school they start and feel the sense of belonging and hope that only HOME provides.
