The Dedication of 1093 Panther Court: The White Family

One of the best parts of working with Habitat for Humanity is seeing a family enjoy their new home. It's great to see a little girl show off her new room. When Talia took me to show me her room she kept looking around like she was nervous. Then all of a sudden her brother, Damaris, jumps out of the closet. They were plotting to scare me! It was great to see them having fun in their new home.
This home was special to me because I was able to work on it from almost the ground up; I started working right after the piers were built. I learned many things while working on this house and worked with many different volunteer groups. We had groups from Publix, NC State University, Warren Wilson College, The Citadel, Homeland Security, SeaCoast Church, Holiday Inn, Wando High School, The Junior League, UNC-Pembroke, and others that are escaping me. Lots of people from many different backgrounds came together for the same goal.
The White Family moved into their new home shortly after New Years. What better way to begin a new year!
