As the new season sets in, we are so happy to announce both the Evans Family and Harrison Family as official homeowners! We are so thankful to have seen the Lord’s provision as He’s been so faithful over these past two years, providing Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County the resources to complete these two homes through the pandemic.
On August 20th, we, along with Tia Harrison, family, and friends celebrated the dedication of their new home. After her struggles with sickle cell disease, unsafe living conditions, and interruptions in getting her bachelors degree, Tia says, “I am in awe of this year and the things that have happened.” Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County is so thankful for everyone who was involved in the completion of Tia’s new home - a place where she can continue to provide for her family without the worry of an unsafe neighborhood.
On September 11th, 2022, the Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County team along with Restoration Community Church celebrated the home dedication of the Evans Family. After years of delays and unexpected events, we finally stand with this community in praise of God’s mighty work. The Evans Family are homeowners!
Due to a life-threatening event in his past, Jared has faced significant health restrictions that have, unfortunately at times, interfered with his eligibility to operate a motor vehicle, making it difficult for him to work and to support his family financially. About this, Jared states, “Through this challenge though, Psalms 119:68 shines forth that, no matter what, ‘God is good and does good’.” The Evans are so excited for their girls to have their own space and for their family to be able to continue to minister in their church community.
Habitat for Humanity helps families in need of a decent place to live build strength, stability and independence through affordable housing. With the help of members of the community, volunteers, and staff, we are excited to continue on our mission with both Genise Furtick and Stephanie Smith. Keep your eyes peeled because we are nowhere near finished with the work God has laid out for us! For more information getting involved, please visit berkeleyhabitat.org/volunteer.
