“For over 30 years, a Habitat home in Oakland was filled with memories and the laughter of five growing children. When those children inherited their beloved home they had the opportunity to sell it for a major windfall on the open market. Instead they sold it affordably back to Habitat, opening the door to homeownership for a new Habitat family. Now that home is about to be filled with growing children again, and we celebrate a new chapter in its amazing story of love, generosity, and paying it forward.”
What an honor to be able to tell this story. We were so moved to witness the happiness of the new homeowners and their four kids, the open-heartedness of the Guardado family, and the joyous support of the volunteers, neighbors and staff at this Home Dedication event on East 22nd St. in Oakland. Definitely one of the most gratifying projects we’ve done with Habitat for Humanity EBSV to date.
