Meet Rachel: Family of 2

Son: Logan, age 8

Rachel’s story is one of courage, determination, and the relentless pursuit of safety and stability for her young son, Logan. A survivor of domestic violence, Rachel has worked tirelessly to overcome the trauma of her past and create a nurturing environment for Logan.

Their current home, marred by damage and disrepair, reflects the challenges they face daily. The property’s mold issues, pest infestations, and structural hazards, including a fallen tree that has left the yard unsafe, make it difficult for Logan to play freely. Despite these struggles, Rachel remains steadfast in her commitment to giving her son a better life.

Masterfully balancing a high-stress job with the Department of Corrections while also raising Logan as a single mother, her ultimate goal is to ensure Logan knows she did everything in her power to provide him with the stability and happiness he deserves.

For Rachel, owning a home of her own represents a new beginning. It’s a place where she can rebuild her life and provide Logan with the security and opportunities he needs to thrive. Their future Habitat home will be a testament to Rachel’s strength and determination, offering a sanctuary where they can grow, achieve stability and together, embrace a brighter future.
