blessed children given great habitat horrible impressed integrity life others school work
Homelessness is a horrible plight, especially for someone with a family. I have a great husband, great children who are healthy, doing well in school and are well adjusted. A lot has been given to me. I don't know why my life is so blessed and why others (that) work just as hard, for some reason, are not. I want to do what I can and I'm impressed with the integrity of Habitat for Humanity.
