About Me
After relocating to Dallas in early 2012, I found myself on my first Habitat worksite in March of that same year. My only goal was to meet some nice people and maaaaaaybe make a friend. What happened was so much more than that. Not only does Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity help make the dream of decent, affordable housing come true for families across Dallas, it has provided me with more purpose, drive, and dedication than I have ever felt before. I quickly became a regular volunteer and before I knew it I was on a crew, spending at least two Saturdays a month helping to build someone's dream home. Fast forward to October 2014 when I participated in the 31st Annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project here in Dallas. Never could I have imagined the impact that this week would have had on my heart, soul, and desire to do a little more. I decided to commit to traveling to Nepal after receiving support and encouragement from friends and family. For those of you who have played a part in my Habitat journey, I thank you. For those of you who are here, reading this silly story and learning about my passion for Habitat for Humanity for the first time, I thank you. Quite honestly, I couldn't do this without any of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
More Info
These Habitat for Humanity volunteers will travel to Nepal and build alongside President and Mrs. Carter in our annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Please support these team members by donating and sharing their stories.
Together, we can bring homes, community and hope to families in need in Nepal.
Help families in Memphis build strength, stability and independence
Despite Memphis’ rich history and culture, nearly 1 in 3 Memphis residents live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 10 Memphians have an income at 50 percent or below that level.
Together we can make a difference!
President and Mrs. Carter will join the people of Memphis and hundreds of volunteers to build and revitalize the Uptown neighborhood just north of Memphis’ historic downtown. Your generous support will ensure the success of this project.
