Meet the Future Homeowners

“A Habitat for Humanity home would not only provide a safe and stable
environment for me as I grow older, but will allow me to invest in my future .”

~from Sandra Menneg’s application letter

Sandra has spent a lifetime doing what needed to be done – working long hours, making
ends meet, and putting one foot in front of the other no matter the obstacles. As a single
woman, navigating the challenges of rising costs and limited resources, she has built a life
grounded in resilience and determination.

With every sacrifice, along with every small victory, she gained quiet strength and
unwavering commitment to independence. After a lifetime of hard work, she is stepping
into a future defined not by uncertainty, but by hope, pride, and the promise of belonging to
a community that she is so excited to be able to give back to positively.

This opportunity to partner with Asheville Habitat represents far more than a house – it’s a
foundation for stability, dignity, and peace of mind as she grows older. For the first time,
she can invest in something that is truly her own, creating a safe and lasting space where
she can thrive.
