In 2023, Ashley achieved her dreams and became a homeowner in the Rolling Acres neighborhood. Her hard work and dedication to completing her sweat equity volunteer hours through Habitat’s homeownership program provided a stable and safe home for her two daughters.

This project was made possible thanks to the many local women who supported Ashley and built with her, side by side, on the built site as well as donated to her home. Not all women are comfortable or able to volunteer on the construction site so we offer other ways women can support our Women Build project and the priciples it stands for.

Since 1991, Women Build volunteers from all walks of life have come together with Habitat for Humanity affiliates to build stronger, safer communities across the U.S. Women Build events provide the opportunity for women to take a proactive step in serving their communities. Any woman who wants to learn how to build and construct a home is invited to join us. No experience is necessary!

Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, and also alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners. Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved, and improves the community that you share.

The goal of Women Build is to empower women to help families build strength, stability and independence. We at Habitat have the ability to provide opportunities for hands-on learning, and given these tools, women can succeed in changing their communities. 

Meet Future Homeowner, Emily

Meet Emily and her three children; Evelynne (22), Chloe (19), and Jack (9).
Emily and her children’s lives drastically changed in March of 2023 and
purchasing a safe home became an overwhelming concern. Emily did some
research on Habitat and knew it would be the perfect fit for her family of four!
She applied for the program to give her kids a solid foundation for the next
part of their lives together. After prayers and patience, the family was
accepted into the program!

Emily is a Fine and Performing Arts Teacher at a small, private school. Her
oldest daughter, Evelynne, is a senior at The University of Akron and is
earning her Bachelors of Nursing. Chloe is studying Fashion Merchandising
at Kent State University. Jack, Emily’s youngest child, attends the school
where she works and enjoys swim classes, baseball, and singing in the
church choir.

When asked what the family would like to share with our donors and
volunteers, Emily stated, “Our appreciation cannot be explained in words.
We thought homeownership, after a devastating divorce, was just a dream.
This home will significantly impact our lives now, and in the future thanks to
you!”
