WOULD YOU HELP BUILD A HOME FOR A FAMILY IN NEED FOR $152?


At Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, we know a lot about hope. Our families give us lessons on it all the time… like partner family Sarah Kelsh, who currently lives in a tiny one-bedroom apartment with her son, Tyler.

Sarah applied for a Habitat home last year and overcame challenges to meet the goals required to gain approval. Sarah began tackling her 500 hours of sweat equity this year, logging hours in the office and on her future home in Emerald Hollow in Trumbauersville.

“[Owning a Habitat home] will change my life for the better… it will be a complete blessing! My son will be able to play outside and have friends over; right now my apartment is too small for that.”
Sarah has exceeded in fulfilling the expectations of Habitat’s homeownership program, and we would love to have her and Tyler in their new home by the new year.

We’ve calculated that if only 400 people make a gift of $152 each, we’ll be able to complete the construction of their home in time for the holidays. We’ve named this effort the Hope152 Campaign. We’ll be counting down the number of people who join us in this effort on this page (see below) throughout the holiday season.

Tyler Kelsh, five years old.

To be a part of the Hope152 Campaign, simply send a check or money order in the amount of $152 to the Habitat office. Be sure to write “Hope152” in the memo section and let us know the name under which your donation should be tracked online. You may specify your donation be kept anonymous.

A special thanks to Deluca Homes who has decided to match the donations of their employees!
