RAPB Tutus and Tool Belts

Women Build is an annual, worldwide event engaging women of all skill levels to come together to help a family build a decent and affordable place they can call home.

 In the coming weeks, the women of The Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches will be joining this effort and volunteering to help build alongside future Homeowner, Yudelka Marte. As a part of our commitment to strengthening our community, our team will also be raising much-needed funds that will help to pay for material costs associated with home construction.

 Yudelka Marte is originally from the Dominican Republic. She is the proud mother of Emely who is 10 years old. Yudelka will also be sharing her home with her mother Margarita. These three generations of women will be working hard towards their ultimate goal, owning a Habitat Home. Yudelka is currently employed with the School District of Palm Beach County and with Lowe’s Home Improvement. Yudelka is excited about having a home to call her own and providing her family with a more stable future.

“I cannot wait to make new memories with my daughter and mom in our new home.” – Yudelka

 Please help by supporting our efforts. Your tax-deductible donation will make a difference and help to build strength, stability and self-reliance through affordable shelter for Yudelka and her family.

 Together, through Women Build this home is ‘Powered by Women, Funded by Women and Empowering Women’

 About Habitat for Humanity International

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in nearly 1,400 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
