Habitat homeowner Aysia’s journey to homeownership was motivated, propelled, and inspired by her family.
She was motivated to pursue homeownership by her children, ages 5 and 6, to provide them with a stable foundation to grow up.
Her father propelled her ability to buy her house by allowing her to live with him to save money and get her finances in order.
And she was inspired by her older siblings, all of whom are also homeowners, to accomplish the same goal she’s watched each of them achieve.
Aysia celebrated reaching that milestone in May, when she closed on the purchase of her brand-new affordable Habitat home with her dad by her side. The home was built by Park Square Homes during Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s annual Builders Blitz 2026.
Her home was the 12th Habitat home that Park Square Homes and its subcontractors and vendors donated the materials, supplies and labor to build as part of the annual event.
While she closed on her home in the spring, Aysia is already dreaming about her family’s first holiday season there. She said she’s excited to get settled in and host her first Thanksgiving this fall.
Home, she said, is more than a roof and four walls.
“It is a space where you can let your guard down, surrounded by the things and faces that ground you,” she said. “Not just a structure but somewhere you’re comfortable.”
Aysia said she’s excited to have a “forever home” for her children, and a new place for her whole family to make memories together.
