Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver

When Kaitlyn and Nelson dreamed of raising their children in a safe and stable home, they never imagined how quickly that dream would feel out of reach.

For years, they worked toward a brighter future. Then, the pandemic sent housing costs soaring, and with a second baby on the way, finding a suitable home for their growing family started to feel impossible.

"We kind of lost hope," Kaitlyn admits, remembering those difficult months.

That's when Habitat for Humanity gave them what they needed most: a home.

Today, their son plays in his own backyard and is thriving at school. Their daughter took her very first steps at home. With a quiet place to study, Kaitlyn earned a professional designation that has opened new career paths. And for the first time, their family can plan for the future with confidence.

As Nelson says, "My children won't have to have the same pressure on life that I had. Now they can focus on school and actually be children."

That's what a safe, affordable home makes possible.

This month, we're asking our community to become Habitat Heroes, monthly donors who help us create more stories like Kaitlyn and Nelson's.

Because together, we build homes, communities, and hope.

Huge love to nucko's backup Abbotsford Canucks for joining us at our Abbotsford ReStore to build community libraries and special gifts for new Habitat families in Richmond. Thank you for showing up for our community!💙

Everyone knows the Canucks. But what really makes them stand out is how they show up for community. Today, Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver was fortunate to once again welcome the Canucks for Kids Fund Vancouver Canucks team through their Live 2 Give program. Thank you for rolling up your sleeves and helping us build stronger communities.

We are so grateful for the generous support of Nick Bray Architecture Ltd.

NBA runs a monthly seminar series for architects and building industry professionals, and every $5 registration donation comes directly to us here at Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver. Their community has raised hundreds of dollars through every session, and with over 3,100 total attendees, the impact keeps growing.

Their most recent session brought together two leading insurance experts to help architects better protect their practices. Every dollar donated helps us build homes, communities, and hope alongside families in Greater Vancouver.

Want to learn and give back at the same time? Their next seminar, Securing the Studio, covers practical cybersecurity for architecture firms. It runs June 23rd from 12 to 1pm online and your $5 donation gets you in.

We were honoured to be a featured charity at the Filipino Canadian Construction Society 20th Anniversary Golf Tournament last week. Twenty years of community impact is worth celebrating, and we loved the chance to share our mission with such a passionate room of builders and industry leaders.

A huge thank you to Josephine Rose Fard, and Chairman Amado Mercado for welcoming us so warmly. At Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver, we believe a home is where everything else begins. It was inspiring to spend the day alongside people who share that belief.
