Meet the Wilson Family
Mom Tina and sons Heath and Reed are the next Elgin County Habitat for Humanity family to partner with us and participate in our build program. The Wilsons live in St Thomas and Tina is busy looking after her autistic son and working in the customer service industry.
What does it mean to partner with Habitat Heartland? Families like the Wilsons qualify on three basic criteria:
A demonstrated need for housing
A willingness to partner with us in the program
An ability to pay a zero-interest mortgage
The Wilsons like all Habitat families will contribute 500 volunteer hours in lieu of a down payment on their home, and many of these hours will take place at the Habitat Heartland ReStore at 5-280 Edward Street, St Thomas.
Why not stop into the ReStore, get a great deal and meet the Habitat family in your community? When we asked Tina what a Habitat home would mean to her and her boys she said, “We will have a place to call our own. A place for both boys to live and thrive. A home will enrich their lives in a very positive manner. We feel extremely fortunate to be given this opportunity we would not otherwise be able to obtain”.
