Austin Habitat For Humanity  CHANGE LIVES
August 6, 2008
Greetings!

I am writing to update you on our special request and challenge to help the Garcia family build their home. Foremost, I want to thank everyone who responded to the challenge and have stepped up to help this hard-working family. We are truly overwhelmed by your generosity.
As of today, I am proud to announce that with the response to our online appeal from generous supporters like you and the help of another funding partner, we have $51,240 committed toward the Garcia Family home goal of $60,000.

$51,240 raised to dateWe are less than $9,000 away from starting the Garcias' home this weekend. We need your help now more than ever to raise the walls on the Garcia home. Simply click here to make a secure online donation:

Garcia Home FoundationThe time to act is now; the foundation is ready, but we need your help today to raise the walls, put on the roof and build this home. When the funding we secured for the Garcia family home fell through last week, we reached out to you to help us make homeownership a reality for the Garcia family. With our progress thus far, we are almost ready to raise the walls Friday morning!

Help us cross the finish line by making a donation. Together we can raise the funds needed to build the Garcia family.
 

Please make a gift today at http://www.austinhabitat.org/garciafamily. I will be in touch to let you know our progress and to share stories from our Blitz Build weekend.
Again, thank you for all that you do for Austin Habitat for Humanity, and for sharing in the spirit of giving.

Respectfully,
