2016 DM Appeal

Your Help Gives Local Families Hope.

You can directly impact the lives of hardworking Jacksonville families, by providing them the opportunity to purchase an affordable home.

Giving them the hope they need to work, learn, play, and most of all, live.

Dear {First Name}:

Wipe off your feet, come on in, and meet one of our homeowners in his new HabiJax home.

HabiJax homes play a critically important role in revitalizing one of Jacksonville's oldest neighborhoods.

Not only do HabiJax homeowners pay a monthly zero-percent interest mortgage and annual property taxes, but many of the properties we acquire to build were once vacant and blighted. With your support they are transformed into affordable, vibrant homes for families to build a life.

But the hope these homes give our homeowners and their families is even more significant.

With your help, we can provide homebuyers a foundation of hope on which to build the home and life- they've always dreamed of.

Although he's a quiet man, if you have a moment to ask, Kelvin will tell you, "I'm very excited about owning my own home. There's a lot of freedom that comes with homeownership that you just don't get from renting. I love that I can play my music as loud as I want and have a place that's all mine. There's even a place for my truck. I really appreciate all that HabiJax has given me."

Because of support from donors like you, HabiJax was able to help Kelvin achieve his dream of owning his own home.

Kelvin show s off his new home and sa for your su ys "thanks" pport of Ha biJax and o ur mission.

HabiJax helps prepare families for homeownership and provides them with the tools they need to succeed, through homeowner education workshops and neighborhood improvement initiatives.

Today, more than ever, your support is critically important as we kick-off our 2016 Home Builder's Blitz, June 6-10. Homes will be built, rehabilitated, and repaired during the "blitz build," by Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the country completing more than 300 homes during the one-week event.

With the help of local builders and supporters like you, HabiJax will build 12 new high-quality homes and rehabilitate 5 homes for Jacksonville families before the week is over.

I hope you consider making a gift to support HabiJax today, and help us provide a solid foundation for a better future, for those homeowners like Kelvin, who are willing to work hard to build it.

My warmest wishes, Mary Kay O'Rourke President & CEO P.S. - You can follow the progress of the 2016 Home Builders Blitz on
