Massachusetts 4 Sale By Owner is pleased to lend support to "Women Build 2008". The Greater Springfield Habitat For Humanity, in partnership with the Hampden County Women's Correctional Facility & Sheriff's Department, is sponsoring this year-long event and we will be providing periodic updates throughout the year. Be sure to follow our blog posts, website and Online Newsletter for more information on upcoming fund-raising events and learn how you can become involved.
My interest in Habitat For Humanity began a few years ago when introduced to me by my big brother, Bill. A retired English professor and long time Oregon resident, Bill is a Habitat volunteer and past-president of his local chapter in the Portland area. Over the years, I have listened to the many stories he told, of families who are now living in homes he helped build, of visits back to neighborhoods he helped create to see how new home owners were doing, of the day to day challenges of staying on budget, of tireless hours working with local housing agencies and building inspectors. In his "spare time" he also became a volunteer at his local Restore, which is run by the Habitat chapter in his area. Bill wears his Habitat For Humanity T-Shirt proudly when he visits. I hope that he will be proud of his "east coast" counterparts are doing.
