Habitat raises the walls on a new home.
Sharon Jackson and her three children got the chance to watch their dream become a reality at a Habitat for Humanity wall-raising ceremony Saturday.
Jackson and her daughters Lameisha and Katrina and her son Randall gathered with representatives of the Aiken chapter of Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans on Saturday at the work site on St. John’s Place. Together with the day’s work crew, they raised the last wall’s framing and held it into place while the crew secured it with hammer and nails.
“I found out about Habitat for Humanity through the newspaper. Every time I’d read about a Habitat house I’d think about it, and I’ve got two friends who got Habitat houses,” said Jackson. “Christina Lewis at Security Federal Bank really encouraged me to go through with it, so I filled out an application. I really thought I wouldn’t get approved.” Full story..
