Now is the time - your donation will go further than ever before. Every dollar donated before April 30th will be matched up to $30,000. Thank you Jack and Ron!
Iris Rosa, a Habitat Homeowner, wrote this moving letter to the Daily Hampshire Gazette in response to their recent article about the generous match donation:
"I’m writing in reference to the Northampton couple pledge $30,000 to match Habitat for Humanity donations. First I would like to thank Jack Hornor and his husband, Ron Skinn for donating and placing this challenge. My name is Iris Rosa I would like share my story as a Habitat for Humanity Home Owner of 4 Garfield Avenue. I am a full time mother of 6; 4 of my children live with me. I moved to Florence MA from Brooklyn NY about 7yrs ago looking for a better life for my children and myself. I have not once regretted this change. Although it has been a journey it’s an experience that will live with my children and me for a life time. I had heard about Habitat for Humanity by a co-worker who believed I would be a great candidate. I had only been a resident for about a year and just was not quite ready. When I felt grounded I finally applied. I received the phone call of approval on my son’s birthday and was just about finished with the day. I remember it as if it were yesterday, just yelling to my children “we got it! We got the house!” and my kids jumping and yelling YAY! That day was definitely the icing on our cake. Building our home, being part of the process as it grew and become more real was amazing. Sweat Equity indeed; from hammering, plastering, measuring and painting we not only watch our home become a reality but were part of a community of people who gave with out a thought to help us build our dream. I have had people tell me “hey now you have assets and/or you have a home to pass down to your children and grandchildren.” I see it as so much more. My home has a story with chapters that will be never ending. My children and I, we are part of making a dream together. We are grateful to have experienced the growth of our home. So, to you both Jack Hornor and your husband Ron Skinn, to past and future donors, to the dedicated volunteers who give their time, on behalf of my children and me, Thank You for helping to make our dream come a reality."

Many of us want to remember friends and relatives in a meaningful way—one that emphasizes relationships rather than material goods, one that helps build in a time of far too much destruction.

We will send a card to the people you designate, noting the materials you have provided by your gift:

- Fifty Square Feet of Laminate Wood Flooring ($250)
