Stability

September 9, 2017/in Homeowner Stories, Veteran Program/by CurlyHost

Because of you, Iraq War Veteran Jonathan and his wife Lindsay now own a safe, stable, and affordable home.

This fall, Jonathan, Lindsay and their children Josh (7) and Karolyne (2) celebrated the completion of their new home amongst donors, volunteers, friends, and family.

“It’s ours and that’s the best thing about it,” Jonathan said.

Jonathan’s grandfather, a veteran himself, was able to present the keys and Bible to the family, a representation of the new beginning in their life.

“I’m still in that ‘awe phase’ that this is really ours,” Lindsay said.

Thank you for partnering with the Droskis to help provide them with a foundation for a safe, stable, and thriving future.

“It’s beyond words of our appreciation,” Jonathan said.

Group Interest Survey

  • Habitat for Humanity of Kent County provides a variety of volunteer opportunities which can vary depending on the group size, age restrictions, season and general availability. Construction opportunities are full day commitments. Should you prefer a partial day activity or volunteers to work in shifts you will be scheduled for specific tasks or in one of our 3 ReStore locations.
  • Age restrictions apply to certain projects and will be enforced. Most tasks require volunteers to be at least 16 years old. Specific jobs may allow other ages. These restrictions will be indicated by a member of the volunteer services department when a date is offered.
  • Please acknowledge that you understand groups may not be confirmed until 30-60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE AGREED UPON by our volunteer services department. Due to the volume of requests for volunteer opportunities, we will ask that you agree/disagree to the date we offer within a week’s time (unless otherwise noted in our email). This ensures we can look for an alternative date if necessary and place you within a timely fashion.
  • After the completed form is submitted expect to be contacted by a member of our volunteer services department within one week.
