Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver is proud to introduce Susana Avitia, her daughter Beatrice (8), and her two sons, Adrian (4), and Daniel (2). Susy works for a home cleaning agency as an administrative assistant.

Susy can’t wait for the day her children will have a permanent place to call home. Their former housing included places where it was unsafe for the children to play outside. They currently live with Susie’s parents because they are unable to find an affordable place to rent that is also safe and decent. The children all share a room. Her daughter Beatrice is all smiles when she talks about her new home – she is especially looking forward to the day she will have her very own room. It will be wonderful for the children to have more stability in their lives and be able to stay in the same school. “Homeownership will mean a lot to me – it will be my future,” says Susy.

Susy has enjoyed doing her sweat equity hours and she is glad her job has been supportive so she could do her hours and have the time to care for the children.

Susy and her children will be living at 5519 Lowell Street in a home sponsored by Habitat Interfaith Alliance. Susy said “This house means everything to me and my children. Thank you so very much for making it possible.”
