Wells Fargo Build Day 9/26

Twenty Wells Fargo volunteers from the local Ocean City branch, as well as from around South Jersey, grabbed hammers, power tools and hit the ground running at the Habitat construction site Tuesday September 26th. This spirited group worked side-by-side with homeowners Abigail and Angel, and Habitat Cape May veteran volunteers on framing, siding and porch building projects. Wells Fargo Foundation is sponsor of the house at 209 Reeves Street, providing $20,000 towards construction costs. We loved having this great team of men and women join us for the day, and hope they want to make a return trip soon! If your work or social group would like to try their hand at a Habitat work day, contact Community Outreach Manager Cheryl Spaulding at cheryl.spaulding@habitatcapemay.org.

Meet the Garcia Santiago Family

Angel Santiago, CZ, Mileydi, Tania, Jay & Abigail Garcia.

Wildwood native Abigail Garcia met Angel Santiago in Puerto Rico. When they decided to move back to Cape May County in 2013, they were determined to make a better life for their family of five. A promise of housing fell through, and they foundthemselves homeless. Good fortune brought them to Family Promise of Cape May County, where caring volunteers provided meals & shelter.
Abigail and Angel responded to hardship with perseverance and grit. They quickly secured jobs, saved money, and soon moved into a tiny rental house in Cape May Court House. When they applied to become Habitat homeowners in 2016, they stood out as just the kind of family who would take
the opportunity homeownership provides, and make it the foundation for success and a better future.
Daughter Tania (12), son Jay (9) and daughter Mileydi (8) may now share an unheated attic bedroom, but soon they will
have rooms to call their own, where Tania will be free to study the math she loves, Jay to read his history books, and Mileydi
to dance in her pink ballet shoes.
