Dallas Habitat for Humanity hosted a Junior All-Stars Day, allowing the youngest volunteers to finally take part in the process of building a home for local families in need.
Organizers said it’s a symbolic effort that will last forever.
“To know that you got your hands dirty to help make this house happen for you, that you were there with your mother standing side-by-side and helping it come to life… it’s the foundation of what they’re building as a family. And they’re actually physically helping with that foundation. I can’t tell you what it means to them,” said Phillips.
They say it’s also important to get kids involved in projects like this is important, especially for those who come from struggling families. “I think it’s important as far as them teaching my children that you can have a home. I’m the first in my family of siblings to purchase a home,” said Rosalinda Cortez, first recipient of Women Build Home. “So this is a future for my children to let them know that anything is possible. Go ahead and get your dream, you know?”
