#116- Christiansen/Brown Family
Sara has three daughters: Madison (an adult who lives on her own), Maleah, and Maya. The Christiansen/Brown family owns our 116th home, located at 906 Waverly Avenue. The home was dedicated on October 3, 2019 and was sold to the family at an affordable, interest-free mortgage. I have always wanted to provide my children with a home that was truly ours. Being able to let them play in a yard and ride their bikes is a dream come true. Providing them with a home means that I will be able to provide them with a place that we can be proud of because we helped build it." |

#115- Christnot/DeGroot Family
Jasmine and Ryan have four children, Caydence, Bryton, Raylan, and Mya. The Christnot/DeGroot family owns our 115th home, located at 1035 Neville Avenue. The home was a result of Women Build 2019, which hosted over 200 participants. The home was dedicated on August 26, 2019 and was sold to the family at an affordable, interest-free mortgage. Owning a home for us means permanency and a strong foundation to raise our children. This is the first home for any of us that is truly ours, and it gives us a sense of peace and comfort knowing that we won't have to rent anymore. |

#114- Yanez/Saldana Family
Brittany, Omar, and their two children lived in an old and unsafe home. Between poor insulation, springtime flooding, animals in the attic, and a musty smell that seeps into everything (including their clothes), Brittany was ready to provide something better for her family. The Yanez/Saldana family owns our 114th home, located at 1030 Stuart Street in Green Bay. The home was dedicated on June 6, 2019 and was sold to the family at an affordable, interest-free mortgage. I believe my little family deserves a safe home that I can afford on my own. |

#113 - Habane/Egeh Family
With a household of 11 and a father with medical needs, it was hard for the Habane/Egeh family to find accessible, suitable housing. After applying to the Homeownership program a few years ago and getting denied, the family worked hard to meet the requirements, applied again, and was accepted! The Habane/Egeh family now owns our 113th home, located at 1743 Chicago Court in Green Bay. Their home was dedicated on May 16, 2019. The home was sold to the family at an affordable, interest-free mortgage. We are looking forward to living in our first house. Thank you all for helping us! |

#112 - Redko Family
When Maksim brought his wife, Alina, to the United States from Ukraine, he knew he needed to provide the best future possible for her and their daughter Evelyn. With a new baby on the way (Stella was born in August 2018), the Redko family needed to upgrade their living quarters so they could live happily and healthily. This led them to apply for Habitat for Humanity's Homeownership program.
The Redko family now owns our 112th home, located at 1745 Chicago Court in Green Bay. Their home was dedicated on February 21, 2019. I believe that as the head of the family, it is my responsibility to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of my family. Safe, clean, and stable housing is one of those baseline needs that I feel obliged to meet as a father. |

#111 - Dewitt Family
For the DeWitt Family, having a space that suited the needs of their family was difficult to find. In need of a living space that is ADA accessible, the family struggled with flights of stairs, lack of space and shortage of handicap parking. This is what led the DeWitt family to apply for Habitat for Humanity's Homeownership Program.
The DeWitt Family owns our 111th home, located on Western Avenue in Green Bay. The home was dedicated October 11, 2018. I'm so blessed that my handicapped son, Kevin, and I won't have to climb stairs anymore. I plan on making this home as beautiful as I can by planting flowers, trees, and a garden!" - Lisa |

#110 - Rein Family
For the Rein Family, more space was a necessity. The homeowner's teenage son and daughter were sharing a bedroom and the family of three was residing in a cramped 2 bedroom apartment. It has always been the family's dream to own a home of their own and have the space they need to grow. This is what led the family to apply for Habitat for Humanity's Homeownership Program.
The Rein Family owns our 110th home on Western Avenue in Green Bay. The home was dedicated on August 23, 2018. Thank you to Habitat and all the people who have donated to make my dream come true. Without all their help, my dream of owning a home for myself and my two children couldn’t have come true." |

#109 - Barrette Family
The Barrette Family's journey to home ownership involved a lot of perseverance. The future homeowner first found out about Habitat's program a few years ago, and unfortunately did not qualify at that time. Not willing to give up on their dream, the family reapplied to the program and was accepted!
The Barrette Family owns our 109th home on Western Avenue in Green Bay. This home was dedicated on July 12, 2018. We were homeless once, and it was hard to have faith. But we started praying more, and God had our backs. Faith got us to where we are, home. Now I'm excited to face the challenges of homeownership with my faith at the front line." - Liz |
