Michael Hill, who had been living in apartments and with his in-laws, now gets to watch his 16-month-old daughter grow up and make memories under the same roof. This was made possible thanks to the help of Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity.
"With inflation and all that, teachers, we don't get paid horribly. But it's not the greatest pay. But just getting that down payment for home would have been a little longer than Habitat helping out," Hill said. "Honestly, having her was the biggest reason. It motivated me to be a homeowner. Really, the home is honestly for Hazel."
"Home is where everything starts. So, for us to be a part of that is really exciting for us and very fulfilling," said Ann Felton Gilliland, the CEO of Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity.
Nearly 40 volunteers with the Oklahoma City Police Department helped frame the home this past October as part of the National Faith and Blue Weekend. Some of those volunteers were there on Thursday to congratulate Hill's family.
