Meet Our Habitat Family

The Ivy Family   My name is Latasha Ivy. I am the mother of two wonderful boys, Antjuan, 10, and Deyontae, 3. Antjuan likes school and playing video games. He also wants to be a football player when he grows up. Deyontae loves going to the park, playing with cards and picking on his big brother. I have a great job at Trinity Senior Community. I really enjoy helping people who need my help. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with the boys going to the park, playing basketball or staying in and watching movies. In the last three years, we have moved three times. When I think of having a home of my own, I think of a sense of security and a safe, stable place to raise my sons. We are very excited and thankful for this opportunity. I would like to thank Habitat for Humanity of Dane County and all the volunteers for making our dreams come true.  This is truly a blessing and I am grateful to have a home to call my own. Latasha Ivy         TOP HABITAT VOLUNTEERS!! CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU   The Habitat Church Build house is finally done. Our cluster parish volunteers have met all of Habitat’s requested work schedule in the most  generous and skillful way.  Our family, Latasha and her boys moved  in  November 29, 2010. The Habitat Church Build  committee  extends its heartfelt thank you to all the people who gave their time and talent to help build the Habitat Church Build house for the Ivy family.  Well over 280 volunteer days were worked by parishioners form the cluster parishes.  Many volunteers worked multiple days.  Some simply came without signing up because they could work it into their busy day at the last minute.  Congratulations  and thank you to all volunteers. This year Dane County Habitat is celebrating both its 25th year and its 200th home and has appointed our parish cluster group of churches as a lead sponsor.  Our surplus funds raised to build our Habitat Home in 2010 will be earmarked for this home.  It is a special recognition that Dane County Habitat wanted a church group to have this distinction of helping to sponsor this 200th home at the Silver Eve Benefit Dinner, September 29, 2011 at the Alliant Energy Center. Thank you for all your support in building our home and for continuing to support Habitat of Dane County. May God bless your fine work.   TOP      TOP  Pray for The Habitat Church Build Effort Prayer has always been a major ingredient in Habitat for Humanity's mission.
