We had a wonderful time celebrating with Mohammad and Arezo at their home dedication on Friday, February 21! Surrounded by family and friends, including their four wonderful daughters and a gathering of 25 or more loved ones, the event was filled with joy, gratitude, and new beginnings. It was significant as they purchased this home through Habitat for Humanity with an affordable mortgage, making their dream of homeownership here in the US a reality. It was a beautiful moment to witness as they stepped into this new chapter of their lives, turning their house into a home. Here’s to many happy memories ahead for their family!
