"There are times when I just lay in bed and think, what it will be like to be here in 10 years? 20 years? I have never been able to stay in one place for very long.
"Owning a home is like the cornerstone of your life. There’s some stability for me and my children, it’s a place where they can visit – and just to know that my grandchildren have a place that they can come to is wonderful. Sometimes I wake up at night and still can’t believe it’s mine.
"We even have a dog now, Molly, a black Lab and American pit mix – and we don’t have to argue about her with the landlord. We rescued her, just like Proud Ground rescued us.” - Anita, Proud Ground homeowner.
We hear regularly from homeowners like Anita: homeowners who moved repeatedly when rents were raised; who yearned for a garden; who needed space and stability for their family; who wanted a dog. There is an abundance of "why I pursued homeownership" stories, but all of the homebuyers we work with share a common goal: a home to call their own.
Your support helps more families realize the dream of homeownership. Please consider donating to Proud Ground today.
