Sadie and daughters, Raeanne and Janne, had spent the past few years living in her parent’s home on the Halalt First Nation Territory, with Sadie and Janne sharing a room. “It has definitely been crowded,” says Sadie. “Now we will all have our own space, and my daughters will have their own rooms. That’s a big deal for them!”
Sadie is proof that determination can pay off. She had previously applied for another Habitat for Humanity build in Duncan, and although she was shortlisted, she was not successful. When the opportunity to apply for the 6-plex came up she tried again.
“I’m so glad I did! My daughters have been so supportive, encouraging me along the way and I’m so happy to provide a positive example for them, that determination pays off.”
Sadie’s ultimate goal is to eventually build her own home on the Halalt First Nation Territory and show knows the stability of partnering with Habitat will help make that dream a reality.
“It is amazing to know that when I decide it’s time for me to move on I can sell the home back to Habitat to be passed on to another local family in need.”
