My wife and I spoke with Habitat for Humanity today and the woman is encouraging us to apply when the applications open back up again. She has said that we would qualify for a home through their program.
The home that we would qualify for will be a 4 bedroom home that will be handicapped ready for my wife. This includes larger doorways, wider hallways, and safety rails where needed. She said that they monthly payments will be between $420 and $500 a month and will include the insurance payments as well as property taxes. That price will not be much more than what we will start paying come December when our rent goes up.
If anyone knows about Habitat for Humanity, you will know that there is much volunteering that the "family" will have to do. Something like 350 hours. I will be doing the bulk of those hours, if not all of them. The hours include helping build others' homes as well as our own. So this home will truly feel like our home and there is a sense of pride knowing that my sweat and blood (undoubtedly I will bleed at some point) will be part of it's construction.
We are super excited about this path that God has put before us. Please pray in agreement with us that the devil will not place a hand in this and that God is glorified throughout the process as we build our home and become homeowners.
