"The difference between broken communities and thriving ones is the presence of women who are valued and empowered." - Michelle Obama
Women Build is Habitat for Humanity’s annual, worldwide event engaging women in an effort to support affordable, quality housing. During Women Build Week, May 1-9, teams of women will unite to empower local Habitat families. Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County invites you to support our team for Women Build 2020. We will be rolling up our sleeves to build strength, stability and independence for two families in West Palm Beach and fundraising to help ensure families can realize their dream of home ownership.
About the Families
The Easley Family
Mariah Easley was born and raised in West Palm Beach. She is raising her two children, 8-year-old Janaria and 5-year-old Jabari. Her children inspired Mariah to earn an associate degree and encouraged her to begin her career as an Operations Coordinator at MD Now Urgent Care.
Mariah is a compassionate woman who is motivated to build a better life for her family. She has been preparing, saving and working hard to achieve her dream of home ownership.
"I want to provide my children with a home we can live and grow in; a home with enough rooms for us, a home we can say is OURS." - Mariah
The Williams Family
Elnora Williams is a West Palm Beach native. She is a proud mother and grandmother to her three children and three grandchildren. Elnora has a passion for creating recipes and she gets to apply that every day in her profession as a cook at MorseLife Health System.
A strong work ethic and determination have prepared her to become a homeowner. From the beginning, Elora was excited to learn and grow from the home ownership experience. Due to health concerns, Elnora wanted to find a one-story home, but had trouble finding an affordable home to meet her needs. She believes fate brought her to Habitat when she needed it most.
"My heart has been in the homeownership process from day one. I am so proud of myself, and I am proud to be in a stable home." -Elnora Williams
