Westminster partners with Fourth Presbyterian to build a home every three years through Habitat for Humanity. The next build will be Spring of 2014. In 2011 we built a home for Sundra Reese.

The
Reese Family
Sundra Reese is a native of Greenville County and single mother of 2 daughters ages 14 and 19. Her 19 year old daughter is no longer in the home but still shares in the excitement and is very happy for her mother and sister. Sundra is a graduate of Wade Hampton High School and a Certified Nursing Assistant. She is very proud of the fact that she was the first one to receive CNA certification from Magnolia Manor while she was in the Welfare to Work program. She hopes to one day return to the field of nursing assistance and work with the elderly. As a single mom she believes in working hard for what you want, staying encouraged and living a prayerful life. This type of thinking has helped to shape who she is today.
Sundra wants you to know that she is a sport enthusiast who loves to watch all sports, but admits that she is a Gamecock fan and hopes not to offend anyone by being one (she laughs). She and her daughter are looking forward to homeownership and the pride it will bring to her family. “Homeownership is something I always dreamed of and for it to be coming true is truly a blessing”, she says. Sundra and her daughter will look forward to spending quality time in the yard planting flowers and entertaining family and friends. She can’t wait to make decisions about her home without the consent of a landlord. When asked what she would take from this program, Sundra believes it would be the information she learned in the financial classes and the feeling of meeting and working side by side with others.
Sundra and her family wish to thank God for their many blessings, her family for their support and encouragement, Habitat staff and without a doubt her build Partners, Westminster and Fourth Presbyterian, for their financial support in making this dream of home ownership a reality. God Bless you all!
