Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver is proud to introduce Luis and Veronica and their son. Luis and Veronica have been living in the basement of Veronica’s parent’s house. They share one large finished room with a bathroom in the unfinished part of the basement. Keeping warm in winter is difficult. Luis has worked as a painter for many years and now works at a car dealership as a mechanic.

Luis and Veronica are thrilled about being selected as Habitat homeowners. It is truly a dream come true. The couple has lived in several apartments and struggled with the high cost of rent, resulting in their move to Veronica’s parent’s home. They both look forward to living in a place they can afford and that is permanent. They want to raise their son in a healthy and stable environment. "It’s about our son", says Luis. Luis and Veronica go on to say "Habitat will help us a lot, and we will be sure to help Habitat back."

Both Veronica and Luis have started on their sweat equity hours. They have helped at the construction sites, as well as the Habitat Outlets and in the office. Luis enjoys the construction in particular. "It’s not like work," he says.

The family will be living in Denver. "We are really thankful to the Habitat Interfaith Alliance who will help us be homeowners and raise a good family in our own home - it will be a big difference in our lives. Thank you very much."
