We are thrilled to welcome Jasmine as the future homeowner of our first fully accessible Habitat home, located in Bloomfield. After facing a life-altering injury, Jasmine continues to move forward with strength, determination, and an unwavering spirit. In her own words: "To me being a Habitat homeowner is a huge blessing! I don’t see any other possibility where I would be able to have a safe, affordable and accessible home ensuring that I can live an independent life all on my own. I’m so excited for this journey moving forward and this will be a huge part of my life! I’m so grateful for Tres Rios Habitat for Humanity and I thank everyone who is included in this process and who will be continuing to help. Thanks again."
