The 500th Habitat Home Dedication!

Sat. Sept. 15th, 07 11:00 am

A Statewide celebration at Drive 1324 off Middle San Pedro Road in Española

The Family Partner for this house is Frances Marquez and her daughter, Amanda. From Frances: “My daughter Amanda is non-verbal, visually impaired, non-ambulatory who is quadriplegic. At 18 months of age, Amanda was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Amanda’s father abandoned us. Currently I am working part-time with Las Cumbres Learning Center as a service coordinator/developmental specialist. I am fortunate that they are flexible with me. My hours are according to my daughters schedule and disability.”

Habitat for Humanity of Española Valley & Los Alamos, Inc. is honored to host the 500th Habitat Home to be completed and dedicated in the State of New Mexico! There are 17 Habitat Affiliates throughout the State of New Mexico. Together we have completed 500 Habitat Homes since the beginnings of Habitat for Humanity in New Mexico 20 years ago.
