Our family and team

Our project is part of the "We Are Waiting for You at Home" initiative that focuses on making homes safer for children with chronic illnesses. Through this project, Habitat updates homes by upgrading or building restroom facilities, expanding existing homes, etc.

Our family consisted of the mother, Marina, and her daughter Camilla, who is eight. Camilla has developmental and physical disabilities that require physical therapy and prevent her from attending school. Marina's husband left the family and she is left to support Camilla and her two sisters. Her son works outside the home and helps provide for the family. Both her son and Marina helped us on the build, mixing concrete, collecting rocks, and providing beverages.

We also had an architect and a mason on our team helping to direct and oversee our work.
