ICYMI: LI Family Begins Construction On New Habitat For Humanity

In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in the Patchogue Patch:

EAST PATCHOGUE, NY — A Long Island woman and her four children celebrate the construction of their new home in East Patchogue last month, thanks to Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk.

The non-profit hosted a ceremonial wall raise on April 27 at the Donegan Avenue home for Allyson Bowden and her kids.

"From the bottom of our hearts, my family and I truly thank everyone involved in this wonderful program that puts a safe and sound roof over our heads. I can't wait to see the smiles on my kids' faces when we move in, make a huge breakfast and eat together for our first morning in our beautiful home," Bowden said. "Without Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk and the other supporting organizations, none of this would be possible and I am eternally grateful."
