This morning Elena Marsh reached a milestone in her journey. She and her son, Jaden, were joined by family, friends, Habitat employees, and her sponsor, Mountain Brook Baptist Church, in dedicating her new home. The hands that built Elena’s home, including her own, gathered together in her new living room for a time a thankfulness and celebration. It was sweet time filled with laughter and tears. After she was presented with a Bible and her keys from Mountain Brook Baptist Church, Elena expressed gratitude and shared they were a “testament that God hears her prayers.”
Mountain Brook Baptist Church has been a valuable partner with Habitat. Their volunteers are thoughtful, dedicated, dependable and strong leaders. Today marked their 31st home with Habitat Birmingham. We are very thankful for their continued commitment in helping Habitat fulfill its mission in Birmingham!
