Alisha Hicks and her son face daily challenges in their small one-bedroom apartment.  They look forward to having a safe and warm place to call their own and Alisha loves how Habitat is making a difference for many other families like her own.

The Mendoza Family

Alicia Mendoza has lived in the South Gate area all of her life.  She and her son longed for a home to call their own where family and friends could come and visit.  Becoming a homeowner was one of her lifelong dreams and she saved and sacrificed to make this dream come a reality.
