Dear Friends and Supporters of Habitat for Humanity Mid-Yellowstone Valley,

As we approach the holiday season, it is a time of reflection, gratitude, and the spirit of giving. We would like to take a moment to share with you the remarkable impact your support has had on our community over the years.

Since our inception in 1992, Habitat for Humanity Mid-Yellowstone Valley has been dedicated to the mission of providing safe and affordable shelter for those in need. Today, we are proud to announce that, thanks to your unwavering support, we have provided safe and stable homes to 268 children in our community.

This achievement goes beyond just the number; it speaks to the profound and lasting impact we have made on the lives of countless families. We firmly believe that a safe and healthy home environment is the foundation upon which brighter futures are built.

A safe and stable home is not merely a roof over one's head; it is a shield against illness, both physical and psychological. It enables families to allocate their hard-earned resources towards nutritious food and preventative healthcare. It ensures that children can thrive in an environment that fosters their well-being.

Dr. Megan Sandel, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Professor of Environmental Health at Boston University, aptly stated, "A safe, decent, affordable home is like a vaccine—it literally keeps children healthy." The truth in these words cannot be overstated. Our work is not just about constructing houses; it's about providing a vaccine of stability and security to our community's most vulnerable members.

The impact of safe and stable housing on children's psychological well-being is profound. It leads to lower stress levels, more self-assured parents, and a brighter outlook on the future. By alleviating the burden of poor housing conditions, we contribute to the mental health and overall development of children in our community.

This holiday season, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Your continued support allows us to build more than just houses; it enables us to build hope, health, and happiness for families in need. Together, we can continue to provide safe and affordable shelter to those who deserve it most.

You can make a direct impact by donating via: www.billingshabitat.org, Venmo - @HabitatforHumanityMYV, PayPal – paypal.me/billingshabitat or by sending in your contribution to our office at 685 King Park Dr. Billings, MT 59102.  Every contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to a community where every child has a safe place to call home.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and dedication to our mission. As we celebrate this holiday season, let us remember the power we hold to create positive change in the lives of others. Together, we can make a brighter future a reality for our community.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and meaningful holiday season.

With warmest regards,

Maria Reed
