Four Boys, One Strong Mom, One New Home

Welcome home, Sharrelle—a mother of four boys who has finally achieved the dream of homeownership after years of hard work.

As an executive administrator at Housing Solutions, Sharrelle helps others find stable housing every day. But her own journey wasn’t easy. When she first applied to Green Country Habitat for Humanity nearly two years ago, she didn’t qualify. Her credit and debt-to-income ratio needed work, and life brought additional challenges, including a divorce and an unstable rental situation.

Still, Sharrelle stayed committed.

“No matter what, I wanted a home,” she says.

When she reapplied, everything had changed. Her finances were stronger, her credit was where it needed to be, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

“We were able to hit the ground running.”

Through the program, Sharrelle gained the skills and confidence that come with homeownership—learning everything from maintenance to budgeting.

“When you’re renting, you call the landlord. Now, it’s on you.”

Her four boys have been part of the journey every step of the way—watching her put in sweat equity hours and counting down alongside her.

“They’re always asking, ‘Mommy, when can we go to your house?’”

For Sharrelle, this home is about more than stability. “This is legacy building,” she says. “It’s something I can pass down to my sons.”

Now, that future is within reach—a place to gather, grow, and call their own.

Congratulations on your new home, Sharrelle, and special thanks to MapleMark Bank for providing an affordable mortgage.
