Because Everyone Deserves a Decent Place to Live

Standing in the batter’s box, Liam’s eyes narrow with determination. The nine-year old’s intensity gives way to a smile, melting his mom’s heart. With his twin brother Luke watching from the stands, this is Liam’s time to shine.

Liam’s mom Sara adjusts his walker. His cerebral palsy isn’t getting in the way of his determination to get a hit for his Miracle League Braves baseball team. As his on-field “buddy,” it’s Sara’s job to help him get that hit and race to first base. 

It’s an endless cycle of Luke cheering on Liam and Liam cheering on Luke as he bounces from soccer to football to baseball, with Sara as their constant. But juggling her job at Best Buy Distribution Center along with the challenge of raising twin boys, Sara’s life is anything but ordinary.

Where they live doesn’t accommodate who they are as a family. Narrow doorways and sharp turns make it difficult for Liam to move around with his walker. A close friend suggested Sara contact Habitat so they could help her, like they had so many others, and offer them an affordable, ADA-approved place to call home.

Sara and the Habitat volunteers aren’t just building a house. They’re creating a home that provides long-term security and safety and a place for their little family full of love to thrive.
