A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
After arriving in America in 2020, Osman and Amal dreamed of building a better life for their five children. Nebraska, with its welcoming community and familiar faces, became their new home. They worked tirelessly to provide stability, always emphasizing the importance of education and family time, making room each evening for homework, followed by laughter and warmth over a movie and Amal’s cherished traditional meals.
Today, with the keys to their new Habitat home in hand, their lives have transformed. Their children now have the space they need to study without distraction, to grow, and to imagine a future without limits. Amal beams as she prepares meals in her beautiful new kitchen, a space that brings her joy and pride.
Their house is more than walls and a roof, it’s a symbol of hope fulfilled, of community, and of new beginnings. With room to breathe, to learn, and to thrive, Osman and Amal’s family is building a future full of promise. And it all started with a dream, and the helping hands that believed in it.
