50th Morgan County Habitat for Humanity House Dedication

50th Morgan County Habitat for Humanity House Dedication

If you have never been to a Habitat for Humanity House Dedication, you are truly missing a blessing.

Today was Morgan County Habitat for Humanity House Dedication. What a huge mile stone for the Morgan County Community.

The dedication was more than just a home being given to the Baker family, who are the recipient. This home was built in honor of Cindy Szinegh who had a great admiration for the Habitat for Humanity program.
What makes this such a wonderful story is, this is a story of how one family's tragedy, touched the lives of so many people.

The house design is named "Chantal", who is Cindy and her husband, Alex daughter. Chantal, in herself, is a marvelous miracle.

It truly was amazing to see how the power of a community can come together and build such a beautiful home.

Sponsor's for the home were Exit Realty and Eaton Corporation Decatur, Alabama.

Builds like these take the hard work and dedication from not only volunteers and the homeowners, but from money raised from the various donations just to make it happen. Stephen Baldwin was even on site to help.

Aaron and I had the opportunity to be at the house when it was still under construction and while Stephen Baldwin was there. The amount of wonderful people that we met was absolutely moving to say the least.

There is no doubt that Cindy, a much loved wife, mother, friend to many, and Realtor with Exit Realty, lost her battle with Breast Cancer in 2008.

I will be writing more about this house and continue the powerful story of these truly remarkable people, who selflessly give of themselves to touch another person's life.
