A hard-working family has a house of their own thanks to Habitat for Humanity and the passion of a community.
The Aldana family — Leticia, Mercedes , Maynor Jr. and Maynor — stand outside the newly renovated “Starfish” home they moved into on Labor Day. For seven years, Leticia and Maynor Aldana and their two children lived in a rundown, $1,200 per month apartment in Northfield, Minn. Raw sewage from the apartment above dripped into their kitchen. The basement had standing water and mold.
Thacker and his wife, Karen Cherewatuk, bankrolled the first house, but “we only had so much money and insurance,” Thacker says. Then the local Habitat for Humanity offered to partner with them. They found a townhouse no one had lived in for a year. “The inside was trashed,” Thacker said. “Mud covered the floors. The walls had holes. The basement windows had stayed open all winter.” In other words, it was perfect.
