Every Habitat homeowner has a unique story, and for Bekky, her path to homeownership has been shaped by resilience and the steady support of her sister, Kelli. Support from family and close friends can give someone the courage to take the next step, and Kelli’s encouragement has been a major part of Bekky’s story.

For Bekky, the journey to homeownership has been filled with hope, patience, and emotion. After months of waiting and working toward this goal, she’s now preparing to open the door to her very own home.

Every SAW Habitat home is built through teamwork. Our trade partners provide essential skills, materials, and expertise that make safe, affordable housing possible for local families. One of those key partners is Chaney Enterprises, whose concrete helps build the foundation of many of our homes.

The road to this point has taken time and effort. Bekky has invested sweat equity hours, completed financial education courses, and leaned on the encouragement of friends and our team. Looking back, she recognizes how this process has given her more than just a house. “Habitat saved my life. I was in a bad place before I met Jill,” she shared.

Faith, resilience, and community are at the heart of every home we help build at SAW Habitat for Humanity. For Bekky, the path to homeownership was about gaining stability, learning new skills, and regaining confidence.

Faith and community are at the core of everything we do at SAW Habitat. Building homes means partnering with individuals at some of life’s most uncertain moments—and walking alongside them toward stability. Bekky’s journey to homeownership shows how resilience and support come together to transform lives. Bekky’s life changed the day that she received a phone call from Jill, our Programs Director at SAW Habitat.

Our mission at Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro Habitat for Humanity is clear: building and restoring homes, lives, and communities through faith. This mission guides everything we do as we work to provide safe, affordable homes for families in our community.
