Meet Partner Family Gio and Mary!

“Through Habitat Denver we will be able to build and purchase our own home while helping our future neighbors build theirs.”

Gio and his partner Mary are Denver natives who have built their lives in the Elyria Swansea neighborhood that they love. Gio and Mary are hardworking parents of a 4-month old baby girl. Gio works full-time as a steel mechanic while Mary works at their local YMCA.

Currently Mary and Gio are living with family members and space is limited. “We are so happy to have our family’s support, but it is now time to expand and secure stability for our daughter’s future,” Gio shares. “We cannot wait to have a house of our own and for our daughter to always know that this is for her.”

Mary and Gio have partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver to purchase and build their house in Habitat’s Swansea Homes community.

“I can’t wait to be a great neighbor and be able to create memories within our new community,” shares Gio.

“This is a huge blessing for our family,” exclaims Mary. Thank you to all of Habitat’s supporters, donors, and volunteers that make homeownership possible for families like Gio and Mary’s.
