Neighbors South

A beautiful October day was the backdrop to a beautiful dedication of the newest home built by Neighbors South Coalition. Volunteers, friends, neighbors and Habitat staff joined together to dedicate Malyun Fathal’s new home.

Malyun plans to move into her new home near the end of the month. She and her five boys have a safe, secure home in which to grow.

Special thanks to Jim Carlson who kept the build on task.

Donations are welcome to celebrate this latest effort.

The very hot days have not prevented this dedicated coalition from pressing onward. As you can see, week four has brought about the beginning of finishing touches on the outside. Now the work begins on the inside. Come on out, lend a hand! See what amazing things can be done by good people doing great things for others!

In just three short weeks, this lot has been transformed. As you can see, a home is soon to occupy this space. The walls are up, the roof is on, the windows and doors have been installed, siding has begun. It is truly a labor of love that will soon make this house a home. Come on out, lend a hand!

Work has begun on our Coalition home. The empty lot with a hole in the ground has been transformed. A new house is rising.

A wonderful team of folks showed up for the first two days. As you can see, the walls and the trusses are in place. This next weekend the roof will be put on and soon it will look like a real home.

Now is the time to make plans to come on out and help. The rallying cry can be “all hands on deck.” Our new homeowner was also on site and smiling from ear to ear.

The deck is on and it appears that the weather will hold. Workers are invited to show up at 11th & Center beginning Friday, July 11. Invite a friend, bring a neighbor, let’s do this in a big way!

Keep the information flowing to others. Gifts and donations are important as we begin this work. Share the story of how this work transforms the lives of those who reside in Habitat homes.

The weather has worked against all efforts to begin the Build for 2008. The new start date is now set for July11. Habitat is working hard to help Neighbors South complete its build as originally planned.

Round up the volunteers and come on out beginning July 11.

The 2008 home will be at 1902 South 11th Street.

Neighbors South built this home at 2817 Madison Ave. It became the home for the Hernandez family.

A new home was built in 2006 at 3020 W Street for Rosenda Medina-Howell.

The 2005 Neighbors South home of Juan Ramirez and family at 3024 W Street.
