Let’s talk about wall blessings! 🙌 Wall blessings are a beautiful tradition at Brunswick County Habitat for Humanity. When a new home is being constructed, a special ceremony is held to bless the walls. This ceremony is the second event in the homeownership journey for partner families and takes place after the house is “dried in.” It’s a way to infuse spirituality, positive energy, good wishes, and hope into the very structure that will shelter families for years to come. Here’s what you need to know about wall blessings: Symbolic Significance: Wall blessings symbolize community, love, and support. They honor the hard work of volunteers, donors, and future homeowners. Gratitude: During the blessing, participants express gratitude for the opportunity to build their own home. It’s a moment to reflect on the impact of safe and decent affordable housing. Wishes and Prayers: Blessings often include wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity for the family who will live there. People may offer written prayers, poems, or heartfelt words. Unity: Wall blessings unite neighbors, volunteers, and community members. It’s a reminder that we’re all connected and invested in creating a better world. 🌎 📅 Visit our website and apply to volunteer: https://lnkd.in/ecake7D9 On your application, you will have the option to volunteer in many different areas including construction, mentorship, and ReStores. Please share this post with your friends and family and help us gather more construction volunteers. Whether you’re swinging a hammer, offering a prayer, or simply cheering from the sidelines, your presence matters. Together, we’re building more than houses—we’re building hope. 🌟💙 #BrunswickCountyHabitatForHumanity #BrunswickCountyNC #HabitatForHumanity #WallBlessings #CommunityLove #Housing #AffordableHousing #Volunteer #Construction

Last month I kicked off a monthly series where I’d share an important cause to me personally and resources to support it (if you wanted to). This month I’m going to discuss poverty and homelessness in my childhood city of Fresno, CA. Fresno is California’s 5th largest city and the home to most of the countries agricultural economy…yet, it’s one of the most impoverished places in the USA. It has a rich culture and very diverse population with only 25% being non-hispanic white, and the other 75% split up between a melting pot of ethnicities from Mexican to Hmong to Black and more! One of my favorite things about growing up in the Central Valley was being immersed in so many different cultures and experiences daily. But sadly, 23% of Fresno’s residents are considered to live in poverty, according to the USA’s federal definition of being a family of 4 making less than $26k/yr. This rate of poverty is almost double the national average and 1.5x the rest of California. Since 2022, homelessness in the area has increased by 7%. It’s getting bad. So with that - I recommend donating or volunteering for Poverello House! They are an emergency shelter for homeless in Fresno CA and also offer other resources like job assistance, food services and more. With a growing population of those in need, they will definitely benefit from additional support.

Ava, not her real name, (7) entered foster care when she was three years old due to severe medical neglect. She has lived in many different homes, separated from her siblings. ⁠ ⁠ Ava loves animals and trying new experiences, and through the Something Special Fund, her request to attend the horseback riding camp was funded.⁠ ⁠ Although she had never ridden on a horse, Ava was very excited when she heard she was going to camp, however was disappointed when she learned she’d only be able to attend if her caregiver was present to support her needs. To Ava's surprise, she had the opportunity to ride Shamu, the horse, all by herself and was extremely proud of herself. At the end of camp, Ava gave her caregiver a tour around and introduced her to all the animals at camp. ⁠ ⁠ It’s easy to refer your friends, neighbors, associates, or family members considering making a move. Simply go to https://lnkd.in/g56_Qjsi or you can call us directly at 619-254-0334.⁠ ⁠ #FosterYouth #sandiegorealtor #sandiegorealestateagent #sandiegohomes #sandiegorealty #coastalsandiego #realestatesandiego #sdhomes #sdrealestate #Fosterfunds #somethingspecial #rosakarp #karpgroup

After putting some clean time together, some of us have a tendency to forget what our most important priority is. Once a week or less we say, "I've gotta get to a meeting tonight. It's been.. " We've been caught up in other things, important for sure, but no more so than our continued participation in Narcotics Anonymous. It happens gradually. We get jobs. We reunite with our families. We're raising children, the dog is sick, or we're going to school at night. The house needs to be cleaned. The lawn needs to be mowed. We have to work late. We're tired. There's a good show at the theater tonight. And all of a sudden, we notice that we haven't called our sponsor, been to a meeting, spoken to a newcomer, or even talked to God in quite a while. What do we do at this point? Well, we either renew our commitment to our recovery, or we continue being too busy to recover until something happens and our lives become unmanageable. Quite a choice! Our best bet is to put more of our energy into maintaining the foundation of recovery on which our lives are built. That foundation makes everything else possible, and it will surely crumble if we get too busy with everything else. Just for today: I can't afford to be too busy to recover. I will do something today that sustains my recovery. We are here to help.
