IVHFH Completes Home Remodel as Future Homeowners Welcome New Baby

3/1/2021

 
Fiston and Nadege's family have been anxiously awaiting two important events: the completion of their new Habitat home and the birth of their third child. 2021 started off with the arrival of their son, John, and they will soon be moving into their new Habitat home this spring. We recently spent some time with them touring their newly completed home and presenting them with gifts from the community, including the keys to their new home! 

Fiston and Nadege are from the Democratic Repulic of the Congo and came to the US through the Diversity VISA program. They have a daughter, Fistina, and two sons, James and John. Fistina says, "Thank you to everyone who is building our house. They make us feel welcome in our community." Read more about Firston and Nadege here.
