University Ave. Champaign, IL 61820 (217) 355-6460 ReStore (217) 359-0507 Administration www.cuhabitat.org	Brought to you by Horizon Hobby     Amazing Home   Today the entire exterior - crawlspace, porch, roofing, siding, windows doors - will be done. In just six days, Horizon Hobby has created more than half of the home that will be the foundation of Amber and her family's future. Amber's new neighbor, Mr. Brown, tells us that before we began to build, the lot was becoming a place where cars were stashed and kids did "bad things." He told Build Volunteer Manager Ellen Willcox that he asked them to move the cars. Their response frightened him. Now there will be a new home and a family that will care for their home and the neighborhood and new playmates for his own daughter. On the other side of the lot live an elderly gentleman and his "bride, Roberta." Roberta has worried about how hot it was on site and was going to bring the builders all some juice. Both came outside because they heard "the music of the hammers." Walking down Beech Street, the neighbors have exclaimed "how cool it is that WE are getting a Habitat house," asking that Habitat "make sure they know they are welcome." People drive by, honk, wave, stick their thumbs up in the air. The children on their way to and from school talk and try to get us to give them snacks! Then there is the Horizon group, all of whom they take their philanthropy very seriously. Each and everyone participant is grateful for the opportunity to build a home for Amber and for the community. No task is beneath any of them, from top executive to warehouse worker. There is such simple, quiet sincerity throughout all of them that chose to do this work, to give this gift of self, with dignity, and laughter and a sincere desire to do something good. And we know just as many Horizon-ites are back at the office, carrying on business with fewer hands and just as much love. Thank you, Horizon Hobby, thank you.
