Partner Family

This home is being purchased by the Salvo family.

Our family is so excited for this wonderful opportunity from Habitat for Humanity and would like to thank all of the sponsors, donors and volunteers that are helping to make this all possible!

Our story begins in 1993 when my first daughter Jocelyn was born. I developed a severe case of Toxemia during my pregnancy forcing the doctors to deliver Jocelyn extremely prematurely. Although Jocelyn was born with Cerebral Palsy due to the complications I was having, I know how blessed I am to have her in my life.

Today Jocelyn is turning 16 and she also has a new baby sister Bria who just turned 1 in December. Living life maneuvering around in a power wheel chair is very challenging for Jocelyn and can be a challenge for those taking care of her. This new home that will be totally accessible for Jocelyn. It is a blessing and we are so grateful for everyone's help and dedication to this project.
