For Mary Jones, home is more than a place to live. It’s where she grew up, raised her five children as a single mother, and built a lifetime of memories in Groveland.
After 55 years, Mary’s home needed important repairs, but she couldn’t afford them. That’s when Habitat for Humanity Lake-Sumter stepped in.
Through its Preservation & Repair Program, and with support from Live Well Foundation of South Lake, Habitat helped Mary make much-needed improvements to her longtime home, including new energy-efficient windows, a new HVAC system, and a renovated, more accessible bathroom.
These upgrades have made Mary’s home safer, healthier, and more comfortable, allowing her to continue living in the place that has meant so much to her family for generations.
“I am relieved that I am getting help with my home. I could not afford to repair my home myself. I really appreciate all of the help.” — Mary Jones
Habitat for Humanity Lake-Sumter does more than repair homes. It’s about helping longtime residents remain safely and comfortably in their homes while preserving their independence and connection to the community.
Live Well Foundation of South Lake is proud to support Habitat for Humanity Lake-Sumter as it continues improving the health, safety, and quality of life of South Lake County residents, one home and one family at a time.
