“Then it was time to move into the interior. The biggest project would be to blow insulation into the attic, but our volunteers handled this task with the greatest of ease. Dave Williams threw on his suit and got to work in the attic, while Bob Swenson kept the insulation machine fed. These two bring a whole new meaning to teamwork and showing what it takes to get the job done.”
“This concluded our last critical home repair for 2023, and special thanks to our volunteers for stepping in to give us a hand-up for Ms. Howell’s home repair.”
Habitat for Humanity Prince William County: “Habitat for Humanity Prince William County would like to welcome Ms. Sonia Gautam as our new Board Chair for FY24! She has served prior on our Board of Directors as a board member and is now ready to lead us into FY24 with her energy, ideas, and drive.”
“Sonia is a native Nepali and has worked in the Prince William County area formally as a Bank Manager at Truist Bank, and currently serves as a Business Development Officer with FVC Bank. She brings to the board 13 years of experience in the banking and finance industry with cumulative experience in providing financial literacy for clients. She received a BA in Finance from Mountain State University, WV, and a BBS (bachelor’s in business science) in International Finance from St. Xavier’s University from Kathmandu, Nepal. Sonia has developed a strong sense of devotion to the nonprofit sector as a board member and has worked with Habitat to provide financial literacy courses for families in Prince William County. This experience has provided Sonia a deep appreciation for how nonprofits seek to improve the quality of life in our region.”
Habitat for Humanity Prince William County: “The Town of Dumfries presented Habitat for Humanity Prince William County a grant for $5,000 to support our Critical Home Repair Program! These funds were used to assist a community member living in the Town of Dumfries with restoring water use back to their home. Habitat for Humanity was contacted by a Dumfries community member who has lived in their home for 20 years.
“The partner family reported that their sewer line had busted and backed up into the basement of their home. Even worse, our partner family had been without water use in their home for months. With the help from the Town of Dumfries Mayor and City Council, Habitat Prince William was able to repair our partner family’s sewer line, and now our family can now use their water in the comfort of their home! Again, thank you Town of Dumfries for your support of Habitat in providing a hand-up in this project!”
