The Carpenter's Helpers
The Carpenter’s Helpers is a faith coalition of seven Presbyterian churches in metro Denver. They work alongside Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver in building homes, raising funds, and creating awareness about the need for safe and affordable housing in our community.
Building Hareb & Djamila's Home
The Carpenter’s Helpers were proud to partner with Hareb & Djamila’s family to construct their Habitat home. This is their story.
“Homeownership for our family was the first step to success in the United States, and it has opened doors for other steps.”
When Hareb and Djamila moved to Denver, they worked hard to make ends meet. Hareb worked more than 40 hours per week at a local food production company, and Djamila was a para-educator in Cherry Creek Schools.
Hareb and Djamila lived with their daughter in an overpriced, small one-bedroom apartment until they partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver and The Carpenter’s Helpers to purchase and build a three-bedroom house in the Swansea Homes community. Now they are thrilled to be in their new home with all the extra space it has provided.
“My little Sophia was just eleven months old when we moved into our new home, but even she felt a lot of space to walk and play,” shares Hareb.
As a Habitat partner family, Hareb and Djamilla each contributed “sweat equity” hours to help build their future home, participated in homeowner education classes, and purchased their home with an affordable mortgage.
They still remember the day they closed on their forever home and received their keys.
“When we moved into our new Habitat house, it brought stability and lots of space. We were finally at home.”
