This spring I’m thrilled to get to help two women break the poverty cycle for themselves and their children by becoming homeowners through the Greater Indy Habitat Women Build! Will you help pay for some of their construction costs by donating through the link below? #IndyWomenBuild

This year I’m helping to build two homes with the Greater Indy Women Build! One thing I really love about this program is that future Habitat homeowners put in more than 200 hours of sweat equity before owning their home through things like homeownership classes and participating in homebuilding. Would you be willing to donate to help fund this year’s Women Build as we build homes for two women? #IndyWomenBuild

The housing crisis is bigger than any one solution, but that doesn’t mean we can sit on the sidelines and do nothing. I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and help build a solution for two women in need through this year’s Indy Women Build and would be honored if you would consider donating to my fundraising campaign! #IndyWomenBuild

Thank you for your email! I’m out of the office today participating in the 10^th Annual Greater Habitat for Humanity Women Build. We’re working to raise $350,000 to build two homes with women in our community. Will you consider donating to help create more affordable housing in Indianapolis?

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing an experience it was to participate in the Habitat Indy Women Build today! With the help and guidance of Habitat staff and Tiger Team members, my team completed the construction tasks for the day and left knowing we made a significant impact. If you haven’t donated already, it’s not too late! And if you’ve already donated, thank you for making the dream of homeownership come true for two local families!
