A Home is morethan a housewww.riskandfaith.org

I love the adventure of helping someone find a place they could call home.

New Home Excitement

Development

Design

Numbers

Until the year 2OO8, when I saw what happened when people lose their homes. And when builders lose their businesses. All the work available came from bank owned property. REO

Boarded homes

Destruction

Pressure

Property destruction

I just couldn’t believe what had happened to housing and banking.

There was nothing I could do to help my customers. I was trying to help myself and my own family.

When it was my turn for motherhood the truth of how vulnerable we are as people hit me hard.

The truth is; people are not perfect and everyone falls victim to disability in some form as a CERTAINTY in life.

I found hope and excitement in an academic role model. A Nobel Peace Prize winner who while working brought tele-communications to his home country to enhance health and wealth by access to communicationsA brilliant humanitarian in the lead as he should be.

Dr. Muhammad Yunus

My admiration for this scholar never ends. His drive for ambition is quoted as "When I stand by other human beings and help them, that is when I feel the most alive"

As I prepared to be a special education teacher, I realized I wanted something different.

A chance at something like what my role model’s concept had taught me. So with only a vision and my university to guide me I began to open up my thoughts on social media.

So this is me today, offering a greater good solution for people to own a home in a community where recreation and cooking can be a shared experience for social needs.

Where a community can provide a job, or a helping hand in any shape.Where you don’t need to be a handyman or a teacher to take care of the place you live with the people you love.
