Skylark heaven
How do you thank a person or
organization for giving you back the will to live — for giving you back your
life?
Dwayne Hunn of Novato
Ecumenical Housing, Kelly Robertson of First California Mortgage and Kathy
Ashfour and Susan McCandless of Home and Land Realty did that.
Approximately six years ago
my husband and 1 divorced after 17 years of marriage. I did everything I could
to keep my two children's’ environment the same. I wanted them to stay in the
same school mid keep their same friends.
The divorce forced me to
sell our home in Lucas Valley and to pay
an exorbitant rent to live in Pacheco Valley. I kept
struggling to make ends meet, saying to myself that if I could only make it
three more years both of my children would be out of high school.
Finally, I called NEH. They
were so nice and cooperative and encouraging. I found that with the equity in
my pension fund I could, incredibly, afford to buy instead of rent!
While negotiations to buy
were going on I found I needed surgery and would be off work approximately
seven weeks. I can’t thank these people enough for putting every effort into
getting me into my home before I had to go into surgery. I had the most
beautiful place in the world to recover in
heaven ... my home.
I thank God my surgery was
successful, my son is doing well in college and my daughter has decided to
return to college.
Since the day I signed the
papers to purchase my new home, although it sounds strange, my whole life has
changed.
I have wonderful new friends
at. Skylark Meadows, more self-confidence in myself, and a glow shows in my
face.
I know God
had a hand in making all these things happen and in bringing all the generous
caring people together who make it happen.
