Home Builders Blitz 2012 is a nationwide partnership between Habitat for Humanity affiliates and the local building community to make sure more families have a chance to own a simple, decent house. We will be building 5 homes in McKinney, and completing home Rehabs and "A Brush With Kindness" in a target neighborhood for community revitalization.

He repairs water & sewer lines. He loves to hunt, fish, play softball and ride bikes.
His two boys are the joy of his life. Ethan (5) attends Kindergarten at IS Rogers Elementary. He likes to ride his bike and scooter, and play volleyball. His favorite subject is recess.
Christian (7) is in second grade and loves to play soccer, ride his bike and scooter and enjoys science and gym at school.
"Habitat is giving me this opportunity to own my FIRST home EVER. I'm amazed and excited. It is something that I thought I would never have for me and the boys. I can't wait !"
Chris has selected a lot in Frisco for his home. It will be built by volunteers and lead by Russ Waite with Construction and Remodel of North Texas.
