A special thanks to Herbie Mathis for the fantastic entertainment that kept the energy high throughout the evening.

A Story of Love, Determination, & Hope

One of the most moving moments of the evening was hearing from Jahmoni Brown and her daughter, who shared their family’s journey. Jahmoni’s life is a testament to the strength of a mother’s love. As the sole caregiver to her three children—one of whom is Autistic and two who are medically complex and nonverbal—Jahmoni has devoted herself to their care. With a rented home that is too small and not accessible for her sons' medical needs, the dream of homeownership seemed impossible.

That changed when Jahmoni was accepted into Berkeley Habitat’s Homeownership Program. Through this opportunity, she and her children will soon have a home that accommodates their needs, offering them stability, comfort, and the space they so desperately need. As Jahmoni shared, "My kids will now have the space and opportunity to move freely throughout our home without complication. This means so much to us! I thank God and Berkeley Habitat for allowing us to receive this blessing."

Building Dreams & Changing Lives

Jahmoni’s story is just one example of the transformative power of affordable housing. Through the generosity of our community, Berkeley Habitat continues to create opportunities for families to thrive. The Building Dreams BBQ Bash is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of hope, resilience, and the unwavering belief that everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who made this year’s BBQ Bash a night to remember. Your support is truly making a difference in the lives of families like Jahmoni’s, and together, we are building dreams, one home at a time.
