Habitat Monmouth dedicates two homes in July!
Welcome home Roger & Kim!
We are delighted to introduce one of our newest families, Roger, Kim and their son, Jacob. Roger is an Army Veteran, and together with Kim, they have been working hard to provide for their growing family. They are extremely excited and thankful to be able to have a home of their own where their son can have a yard to play in. “I still can’t believe it,” Roger said in an interview with Jerry Carino, a reporter from the Asbury Park Press, “I am so happy that they blessed us with this home.”

Welcome home Chrystelle and Wilguens!
Chrystelle and Wilguens both moved to Monmouth County after a severe earthquake in 2010 wreaked havoc to their homes in Haiti. They were married in 2015 welcomed their first child, Willens, into the world in 2018. “We can’t express enough of how much it means to us that we will be homeowners,” Chrystelle said. At their home dedication on July 24, Wilguens could not contain his excitement as he exclaimed, “Oh my God, my home is so beautiful!” Thank you to Monmouth Medical Center for their generous support for the building of our Long Branch home.
