Blitz homes have been dedicated

I still wonder how it was all possible, but yesterday marked the end of Builder’s Blitz 2009. Remarkably, we reached our goal of building 3 1/2 houses in a single week. Our builders – Hearthstone Homes, M Group, Sullivan Homes and the Women Build team – turned a neglected plot of land into something beautiful: a revitalized neighborhood that will be home to four new and wonderful families.

At yesterday’s dedication, the families, builders, volunteers, neighbors and so many other supporters came together to celebrate the week’s success and wish the new homeowners well. We heard from the partner families; we heard from the builders. Even Mayor Fahey, choosing to spend his last day in office with Habitat,  shared a few words.

There were tears and shaky voices as the new homeowners gathered with their children and received their keys. After the presentation, each home was blessed and opened to visitors. It was a splendid finish for what seemed an impossible task.
