Habitat for Humanity helps sixth family in Duck Lake
A “tear jerker” was how Jan Thomas described the ceremony handing over a brand-new home to a Duck Lake family Monday.
Thomas, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert, said this was the sixth family the agency has assisted in the community.
“Kristina and her three children were standing in front of us with tears running down her face,” Thomas said. “She grew up here and was living with her mom right next door [to the new house] … she knows this will be her forever home.”
The home, built in partnership with the Willow Cree Healing Lodge, will mark the end of the two groups’ successful partnership in Duck Lake, according to Thomas.
