We are excited to again be partnering with Manatee County Habitat for Humanity and the local faith community on our third Faith Build.
We are scheduled for a workday at the Faith Build home site on Saturday, January 13, 7:30 am - 12:00 pm in Poling Gardens, Habitat for Humanity's new 16-home development in the Somerset neighborhood of Bradenton.
Teresa and her son, Brandon, will be purchasing this Faith Build home with a 0% interest loan after completing the Habitat for Humanity Home Buyer Program. Teresa is a referral and care coordinator with a local medical clinic and her son, Brandon, is a self-motivated 9th-grader who aspires to become an engineer.
Teresa and Brandon are both dreaming of everything that having their own home will allow them to do. They plan to adopt a dog, and Teresa is excited for Brandon to bring his friends over and be proud of the place that they call home. Most of all, Teresa looks forward to not having to worry about the rising rental market and what that will mean for her ability to make ends meet financially.
For 28 years, local organizations and people have joined together through Manatee County Habitat for Humanity to build and renovate homes that offer Manatee County families the opportunity to live life from a position of strength, stability, and self-reliance. Manatee Habitat for Humanity Faith Build homes receive support from local Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Jewish and Islamic congregations.
