Community Effort Bringing a Dream Home to Life

Fayette County Habitat for Humanity is delighted to share the latest milestone in the construction of the Wright family’s new home. This project has been a labor of love, and the spirit of community shines brightly as local businesses and volunteers unite to bring Johnny Wright and his children closer to their dream of a stable, safe, and loving home. With the siding just installed, the vision of a warm and welcoming future is rapidly becoming reality.
The vision of a warm and welcoming future is rapidly becoming reality for Johnny Wright, a devoted father to four children—Demarion (18), Billy (10), Sam (7), and Julie (5) who have partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build a better future. The family, currently living in a two-bedroom apartment, will soon move into the above spacious new home, with Habitat volunteers shown here, Executive Director Kenny Couch, left, and Norman Wied, right.
