Elizabeth Monroe is a hard-working mother with a daughter who started kindergarten this month. She worked weekends and nights to get her Flagler Habitat for Humanity home built.
Flagler Habitat celebrated on Aug. 25 with the dedication of Monroe's new home in the R Section of Palm Coast. The house is Flagler Habitat's 134th new build.
On a Facebook post, Flagler Habitat thanked its partners in helping make the home dedication special. Lowe's Home Improvement provided a gift for the Monroe family. Memory Makers Quilt Guild created a homemade quilt to wrap the Monroe family in love and warmth.
The St. Johns Water Management District helped make the home water saving and sustainable.
Flagler Habitat for Humanity Construction Manager John Knox presented Monroe with the golden hammer. At the end of the dedication ceremony, Monroe cut the ribbon on the front door, and she and her guests entered her new home.
"We are overjoyed to celebrate the Monroe family as they step into their beautiful new home," Flagler Habitat's Facebook post said. "May this house be filled with endless love, laughter, and unforgettable memories for years to come. Welcome to the Habitat family — we’re so proud to share this milestone with you!"
