Your support in the Pre-Construction phase lays the groundwork for our mission. By contributing to this category, you empower us to source essential materials for constructing temporary homes for women veterans experiencing homelessness. Your generosity directly translates into the raw materials that will become the safe havens where our brave servicewomen can rebuild their lives.
In the Construction phase, your donation becomes the heartbeat of progress. This donation covers the additional resources, skilled labor, and contractors necessary to bring these homes to life. Your commitment here ensures that every nail, beam, and fixture is a step closer to providing a dignified sanctuary for those who have served our country with honor.
Beyond the building phase, your support in the Post-Construction category is vital for the ongoing well-being of our temporary homes. This includes crucial elements such as security, lawn care, utilities, and termite prevention. Your contribution here ensures that our veterans continue to thrive in an environment that fosters stability and security.
Your compassion shines in the Duffle Bag category, where you directly impact the transition of women veterans into their new homes. By covering move-in essentials like bedding, detergents, and toiletries, you provide a warm welcome to those who have sacrificed so much. Your support in this category transforms mere shelters into places of comfort, instilling a sense of belonging and hope for a brighter future.
I am Erica Postway, a Certified Residential License Contractor and Roofer, proudly based in Jacksonville, Florida. As a Service Disabled Veteran, I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Wedderburn Housing Development Corporation, a non-profit organization committed to delivering affordable housing solutions to those in need within our community, specifically focusing on homeless women Veterans.
Our mission extends beyond constructing houses; we are dedicated to creating sustainable and supportive environments for families to thrive. Believing that everyone deserves a safe place to call home, I have had the privilege of contributing to various community projects aimed at enhancing living conditions and providing affordable housing solutions.
Recently, we acquired three parcels through the City of Jacksonville, generously deeded to us for development. In the process of subdividing, we aim to construct 5 to 6 homes that adhere to city and state building codes. This initiative, named “Homes for those who served,” is designed to support homeless women Veterans and their families.
Having experienced the challenges of a significant life transition, particularly after 21 years of marriage leading to eviction with three children, I emerged stronger and committed to uplifting, guiding, and supporting others facing similar circumstances. My life’s mission is to convey the message that even when one door closes, there is an opportunity through the window, waiting to be seized.
Wedderburn Housing Development Corporation is dedicated to providing a tranquil home for our country’s Women Veterans and their families, who have selflessly served to keep us safe. I invite you to join us on this meaningful journey as we contribute to the well-being of those who have served by providing homes in return.
Thank you for considering our mission, and I look forward to the possibility of collaboration.
