The road to becoming a first-time homeowner wasn’t easy for Cherish.
An emergency almost kept her from filling out her application with Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County. Her father passed away during her homeownership journey, understandably making it hard to focus on the process. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult to meet Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s program requirements.
Still, Cherish had a goal: To become a homeowner at a young age. She accomplished just that in May 2020 with the help and encouragement of her friends and family as well as Habitat Orlando & Osceola staff.
We marked this amazing achievement with a Home Celebration! Due to COVID-19, we kept the celebration intimate – but did our best to make it special for Cherish.
Cherish, we at Habitat Orlando & Osceola are so impressed by you. You set a goal for yourself to be a homeowner – and you’ve achieved that goal at such a young age. We hope this home offers you peace and stability as you work to complete your next set of goals.
We know that owning a safe home can transform a person’s future. Once free from unsafe housing and rent hikes, homeowners can invest in themselves and their families. Homeowners can instead turn their attention to attaining higher education, better healthcare, and more.
