ARDMORE, Okla. ― Habitat for Humanity admits they have run into some hurdles with one of their subdivision projects, but that wasn't slowing down the non-profit on Thursday. Shelby Levins has more.
“Home Sweet Home” are words one hardworking Texoma family hasn't been able to say for a while. But with a handful of golden shovels and a lot of volunteers, that's all about to change.
Habitat for Humanity broke ground Thursday on their newest home on the corner of M and 7th Street in Ardmore. In two to three months, the lot will hold a brand new home for Shatera Reynolds and her family.
For both Habitat for Humanity and the family, the timing couldn't be better
"We exist for one reason, and that is to build homes for worthy families. It’s been frustrating for us with our subdivision that we've been waiting to get a home built. But we are so excited to be building a home now, and especially be building a home and having this process right before Christmas,” Jack Scott with Habitat for Humanity says.
"It feels good because this is truly a blessing from God, and with Habitat’s help. It's a blessing. It’s a great Christmas present for me and my family,” soon-to-be homeowner Schantereal Reynolds says,
Habitat for Humanity says the actual home construction will begin soon.
