family stories
We feel that each partner family has their own unique story to tell. Please take a look at some of the stories to see the impact our work has on the families we serve.
| On a quiet St. Paul street, on less of a dead-end than a cul-de-sac, sit two neat rows of Twin Cities Habitat homes. In one of these homes resides Yeshi Tolessa, and her children; daughter, Messay, and sons Abenet, John and Abdissa.

 | Ron awoke to the smell of smoke but originally didn’t think much of it. Then came the fire alarm; there was Ron all alone with nowhere to go. Relegated to a wheelchair and living on the third floor of his apartment building, there was no elevator to bring him to safety. |
| Joyce Johnson was living the American Dream. Married with three children and another child on the way, Joyce had a great job and was the proud homeowner of a beautiful early 1900's South Minneapolis home. |
