Kandy's Story
“My apartment had gotten too small for us,” Kandy said. “So I was like, well, what could be next? I’m a kitchen supervisor at a restaurant, and things were going good. I felt like I was ready to buy something. I was just in the right spot.”

Kandy and her children were ready for a change. Imagine trying to squeeze four kids (including a set of energetic twin boys) into a small apartment. Space was tight, and it was time to dream bigger.

Habitat Cambodia
Last month, Habitat Wake had the joy of hosting a very special guest — Vandy Phal, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Cambodia.

Each year, a portion of Habitat Wake’s revenue is tithed to support global partners working to create safe, affordable housing in communities around the world. We are proud to partner with Habitat organizations in Cambodia, Honduras, and Malawi. Each group works in their unique contexts but is united by Habitat's shared vision: everyone deserves a decent place to live.

Michelle's Mother's Day
In 2023, Michelle Hester’s mom called her. She’d seen Habitat Wake's Old Poole neighborhood on the news, and it was only a few miles down the road from them. That night, she and Michelle drove through what was just the beginning of a neighborhood. On that drive, Michelle thought to herself, “This feels like something I could do.”
