Last spring when leaving her aunt\u2019s house, Chansorya saw a Habitat for Humanity vehicle parked near a house under construction at Fern Hill. Recognizing immediately that Habitat homes were being built there, she and Kevin decided to take a chance and apply.<\/p>\n

Kevin grew up in a Habitat home. Before his father passed away in 2016 he raised six kids on his own in the house. Even though Kevin\u2019s father is no longer here, the family says he remains in their hearts and his legacy lives on. The house has been passed down to Kevin\u2019s youngest brother who has updated it and made it his family\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Chansorya grew up with less stability, moving frequently after her parents separated when she was 5. \u201cI remember always switching schools and moving.\u201d \u201cKevin and I have always been a team. I fell in love with my best friend,\u201d says Chansorya. The couple has been together nine years and will be getting married next summer. They currently live in a three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. Chansorya had always hoped for a five-bedroom home with two bathrooms so their daughters Lydah (7), Layla (5), Luna (2), and Liane (1) didn’t have to share a room and fight for the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Habitat told me one of the homes at Fern Hill would have five bedrooms and two baths, I knew I had to have that house,\u201d says Chansorya. Calling it \u201cOperation Faith on Fern Hill,\u201d Chansorya was determined that she and Kevin had to qualify for Habitat homeownership. They attended an info session in May and then worked with Habitat\u2019s housing counselors to eliminate $14,000 of credit card debt and refinance their car. In August, they were accepted into Habitat\u2019s homeownership program and are now working on their sweat equity requirement.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The last few months have been tough. Both Chansorya\u2019s and Kevin\u2019s families have<\/span> <\/span>suffered multiple deaths. But last week they received good news when an email<\/span> <\/span>came from Habitat that they\u2019d matched with the Fern Hill home \u2013 a gift that Kevin<\/span> <\/span>and Chansorya believe came from their loved ones in heaven watching over them.<\/span> <\/span>\u201cWhen I told people I wanted a five-bedroom home, they told me that wasn\u2019t a<\/span> <\/span>goal, it was just a dream,\u201d says Chansorya. \u201cIt\u2019s such a blessing that my dream<\/span> <\/span>became a reality. We did it!\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The couple made this statement:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe really appreciate and want to say thank you to Habitat for Humanity<\/a>, Banner Bank, and Master Builders Association of Pierce County for giving us this opportunity. We are now home owners! We will be able to create a safe haven<\/span> <\/span>for our family, a place where we can continue to appreciate what we have,<\/span> <\/span>cherish the moments we encounter along the way \u2013 the fun, the sad, the bad, and<\/span> <\/span>the struggles. We can\u2019t wait to witness the growth in our girls in our forever<\/span> <\/span>home. Oh, the memories we will make!\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
