The Antonio Family Has a New Home!

The Antonio house is completed and dedicated and the family has moved in!  June 28th was the date of the closing and the dedication was the very next morning.  Now Brandon, Amanda, and Brookelyn are happily settled into their new home.

From the groundbreaking in May 2012 to excavation that August and through June 28th,  building the Habitat house for Amanda, Brandon and Brookelyn has been a team effort.  Generous donors provided critically needed funds, material and labor.  Amanda and Brandon worked side-by-side with more than 70 dedicated Habitat volunteers who logged more than 2000 hours to build the house.

A construction project and a dream have become a home for the Antonio family.  Their dream would not have become a reality without the generosity of all the volunteers and generous donors who contributed expertise, funding and materials.  Many thanks to all of you!
