Married just a few years ago and now both 23, Demitri and Sydney have outgrown the one-bedroom apartment they share with their energetic border collie-lab mix. With their whole future ahead of them, they dreamed a living in a bigger home with a backyard, and enough room to grow as a family. Seeing this, Demitri’s mother encouraged the couple to start Habitat for Humanity’s Homebuyer Program. 

A lifelong Oklahoman is celebrating a new beginning and a dream realized, thanks to her partnership with Green Country Habitat for Humanity. Mackie recently received the keys to her new home in Wagoner, a moment she calls a “full-circle moment filled with hope, legacy, and gratitude.”
