The Habitat for Humanity is a great organization. This weekend in my quest to find Scary Halloween decorations that folks put up in their yards I was able to get some great shots of the blitz build in Altavista Va. There are some regulars that are always there.
The impact this organization has on people's lives is not possible without the help of a lot of people. The spirit of the people is inspirational.
As a Realtor helping people reach the dream of home ownership is the core of my passions. It is one of my greatest joys in my life to hand the keys to a home to a new homeowner.
I don't get an opportunity to volunteer as much as I would like. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives. I wish I could do it more. However, my creditors do not appreciate my generous heart unless it is directly directed to them so I must also work. One day I hope to be in the position to do much more volunteering.
But let me be clear that this is not about building houses. This is about the people. People connecting to other people and reaching out to help others. This is about being a pivotal difference in someones life. I remember those that have been a part of the turning points in my life. It is just my way of trying to give back. Do you have a way you are giving back?
