Joselyn Casas was pregnant with her second child. Her family was eagerly expecting the arrival of a new baby when hurricane Harvey hit and devastated Houston in 2017, destroying homes and casting doubt on many people’s futures. The Casas family was hit hard, as were many other people who required on-the-spot rescues. They were forced to evacuate their home, dashing their dreams of bringing their newest member back to a warm, safe place with a yard and bedrooms for each child.
Luckily, Habitat for Humanity partnered with First Response, a pregnancy and ovulation test kit brand, to fund Baby’s First Home Campaign. First Response and Habitat for Humanity made the Casas family’s dream a reality with an affordable, brand-new home they could grow in and thrive back in. Now, through ongoing acts of kindness and gratitude, the Casas family has pitched in and helped to build homes for other needy families throughout 2019.
