Goodwin? In just one week our partners at Horizon Hobby put up the
entire exterior of the new home - and landscaping thanks to Prairie
Gardens. On Horizon's off weeks, friends from IBEW Local 601, Illiana Insulation, Lanz Heating, Lanz Plumbing, Larson, Lone Pine Electric, Rogers Seamless Gutter and Sam's Drywall have donated their time and talents to keep Amber's house affordable and up to code. This week, Amber spent time choosing all of the light fixtures and counter tops. Next week the volunteers from Horizon Hobby will again work their magic, installing appliances, painting, putting down the floors and window treatments. Please plan to join us for the home dedication on Saturday, November 3 at 10 a.m. (1105 N Goodwin, Urbana). |

Get to know Maricela better What would owning your own home mean to your family's future? It means the beginning of a new stage, a sense of freedom and the possibility of a better life. How do balance being a mom, working and going to school? It has been a little complicated, but I always find a time of the day to communicate with my children about anything they want to tell me. I usually study at night when they sleep and I focus better. At school I teach and try to do my best. I try to find 15 minutes a day to relax and go on.

Thank you to all of the Women Build leaders: Alejandra Seufferheld, Carolyn Rice, Danielle Matthews, Debbie Hensleigh, Debra Henry, Heather Keigher, Heather McArty, Lin Randall, Maricela Corona, Meagan Smith, Michelle Schweighart and Nancy Merz. |
