"It was so great to see Trish and
her boys fulfill their dream of owning a home," said Moses. "I am so
proud that CDS took on the challenge to help sponsor this incredible family and
work in partnership with ACA and Christ School."
This milestone in the Wolfe family's life
will be celebrated, as well as the hard work and dedication of all three
sponsoring schools, with a key presentation ceremony before the cross country
track meet at Christ School October 21. Carolina Day School, Christ School, and
Asheville Christian Academy will be competing that day, but before the
athletics begin, all three will celebrate what they have accomplished together.
Carolina Day School partnered with
students from Christ School and Asheville Christian Academy to financially
support and physically build an affordable home for the Wolfe family. Each
school committed to raise $18,333 for the project.
Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide
homeownership nonprofit that works with qualifying families to build new homes.
Habitat’s mission is to provide a “hand up” rather than a “hand out.” Part of
the agreement between Habitat and the partner family is that the family pays
low monthly payments and assists with construction. The value of homeownership
has been reinforced through many studies which find that secure housing leads
to more stable households. A Habitat for Humanity house is not only a building,
it’s a safe, affordable family home.
