Even given

her busy work schedule Brenda and her family have earned over 100 of their

required 300 hours of sweat equity, working on site, folding newsletters

and any number of other tasks.

"They

are truly partnering with us toward the dream of a new home," said

Melanie Gross, executive director of Habitat in Coweta.

"Brenda

and her children currently live with her mother and brothers. There are

only three bedrooms for five adults and two teenage children, obviously

inadequate by today's standards."

Newnan-Coweta

Habitat for Humanit is locally organized and operated. Houses are sold

to qualified low-income families with no-interest mortgages.

The organization

has been adding strength and hope to the Coweta community for almost 10

years.

"Our 20th

house will be completed in just a couple of weeks" said local Habitat

board president Suzanne Pengelly, "making it possible for 36 adults

and 49 children to have pride in owning their very own home."

Paul McKnight,

Jr. has donated the warehouse space that Habitat has been using for the

past year and a half. The warehouse is located in Senoia at Morgan and

Broad Streets, one block off of Ga. Highway. 16 and just down the street

from the Post Office.
