Habitat for Humanity is celebrating the completion of its latest build in Charing Cross.
The keys are officially in the hands of Athena Lumsden and her family, following months of hard work.
Lumsden says butterflies in her stomach is the best way to describe the feeling of opening the door on a house she’s worked so hard on.”You have to put in at least 500 sweat equity hours.To cover for the down payment because you don’t put down cash, you put down sweat equity,” says Lumsden. “I put in somewhere around 600 hours and friends and family were able to chip in about 120 hours.
The Charing Cross build is the third for the local branch of Habitat for Humanity.
