It was a beautiful afternoon celebrating the Ramirez family’s new home and a new chapter after the devastating loss of their previous home in a house fire.

We are grateful for the opportunity to help families like Estella’s achieve affordable homeownership and build a brighter future. None of this would be possible without the generosity of supporters like Doug and Sarah Foshee. Doug sponsored Estella’s home in honor of Lt. Marty Morris, recognizing his years of service and dedication to our community.

Surrounded by family, friends, and supporters, it was a special day honoring resilience, generosity, and the power of coming together to build homes, community, and hope. 🏡❤️

Thank you to all of our generous partners, supporters, volunteers, board members, and staff who make this work possible every single day.

Today, the team from Winecub out of Stonewall joined us in Mariposa and helped get one of our homes fully primed and ready for interior paint.

This home is part of Habitat for Humanity Kerr County's traditional homeownership program and will one day be purchased by one of our newly selected partner families after they complete their sweat equity hours and homeownership education.

As we continue helping flood survivors recover, we're also staying committed to our long-term mission of creating affordable homeownership opportunities for hardworking families right here in Kerr County.

Thank you, Winecub, for rolling up your sleeves and helping us build a stronger community, one home at a time. 🏠🔨

We can't wait to celebrate a new beginning for Estella, Emmitt, and Jordan this Saturday and say thank you to the volunteers, community partners, and donors who make moments like this possible.

A special thank you to Doug and Sarah Foshee for sponsoring this home in honor of Marty Morris and helping a local family build strength, stability, and a place to call home.

Thank you to The Kerrville Daily Times for sharing their story with our community. ❤️

Feeling incredibly grateful for every volunteer who shows up to support Habitat and the families we serve. 🫶🏼

Today, more than 20 volunteers joined us, and together we accomplished so much before noon. We finished sodding yards, planted flower beds and trees, cleaned sidewalks and driveways throughout Mariposa, cleared debris from an active construction site, and completed fence staining.

What made the day even more special was seeing volunteers, future homeowners, and their family and friends working side by side. This is what Habitat is all about, people coming together to build homes, community, and hope.

None of this work happens without those willing to give their time, energy, and heart to our mission. As we enter the final stretch of getting our remaining flood survivor families back home, we’re reminded that every helping hand makes a difference. With the exterior work nearly complete, we’re now focusing on the finishing touches inside these homes.

Thank you for helping us bring families home once again. ❤️

Yesterday, we had the privilege of saying thank you to two extraordinary leaders as Kimberly Marks and Howell Ridout completed their service on the Habitat for Humanity Kerr County Board of Directors.

🔨 Kimberly Marks
Board Service: 2018–2026

🔨 Howell Ridout
Board Service: 2016–2026

Their greatest contribution can be seen in the homes themselves. Through their creativity, vision, and passion for thoughtful design, Kimberly and Howell helped shape Habitat homes into beautiful, welcoming places where families can build memories and thrive for generations.

"Thank you, Kim and Howell, for your vision, your servant leadership, and for reminding us that everyone deserves a home that feels welcoming, beautiful, and filled with hope. Your impact will live on in every front porch conversation, every family dinner, and every peaceful night spent in a place called home." - Mary Campana, Executive Director

While their board service has come to an end, their legacy will continue to live on in every new beginning made possible through Habitat.

Thank you, Kimberly and Howell, for your years of leadership, friendship, and unwavering commitment to helping build homes, communities, and hope. 🏠

For some flood survivors, rebuilding where they lost everything simply wasn't possible. Thanks to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, Mariposa became a new path forward.

Last week, Sue and her family became one of the first flood survivor families to close on their new home in Mariposa.

A devoted mother and caregiver, Sue faced challenge after challenge following the flood with remarkable resilience and determination. Through it all, she continued moving forward, never losing hope for a place her family could call home again.

We are grateful to The Community Foundation for making this new beginning possible and to Arcadia Recovery Collaboration ,The Impact Guild, for transforming Sue's house into a home.

Welcome home, Sue! ❤

After losing the home they had lived in for 24 years to a devastating fire, Estella and her sons, Emmitt and Jordan, faced an uncertain future. But in God's perfect timing, a new chapter was just beginning.

Shortly after the fire, Habitat for Humanity Kerr County opened applications for its Affordable Homeownership Program.

Estella and her sons are now preparing to receive the keys to a home that marks a new beginning after unimaginable loss. ❤️

Join us on Saturday, June 20 at 3:00 PM as we celebrate the Ramirez family and give thanks for the donors, volunteers, board members, and staff whose generosity and dedication made this moment possible.

Sometimes rebuilding a home means caring for everything around it too. 💚🏡🐝

When Habitat Construction Manager Jay Eickhoff discovered a colony of bees at a flood repair project, he was determined to find a way to safely relocate them rather than exterminate them. After several calls, it seemed that most options focused on removing the bees permanently.

Knowing how important pollinators are to our environment, especially as our community continues to recover and rebuild after the flood, Jay reached out to Richard Lacaba with the Texas Hill Country Beekeepers Association. Richard immediately put out a call for help, and within an hour, local beekeeper Yuri Lackey of Center Point stepped up.

Yuri carefully located the queen bee, safely relocated part of the colony, and left a hive box behind so the remaining bees could move into their new home.

We thought this was too cool not to share! A huge thank you to Richard, Yuri, and everyone who helped protect these important pollinators. And thank you to Jay, who always goes the extra mile for the families and properties we serve.
