Olga Manck is a loving grandmother who has taken on the responsibility of caring for her three grandchildren. Despite facing challenges, she never gave up on her dream of providing them a better place to live. After applying for the program five times, she was finally approved for the Habitat program, and it was near impossible to withhold her joy. When asked why she continued to apply even through the face of rejection, Olga knew this was the path to give her grandkids the situation she couldn’t have while growing up.
Living in an area plagued by high crime, Olga longs to give her grand-babies a safe and secure home. Mold has been a constant issue in her current residence, exacerbating her two grandchildren’s asthma health problems. She eagerly awaits the day when they can move into a new home, free from mold, and hopes it will alleviate their allergies and improve their health. With the prospect of a Habitat home, she envisions a peaceful and clean outdoor space where her grandkids can play freely with the swing set she intends to buy.
The journey has been arduous, but Olga’s determination and love for her grandkids have brought her to this remarkable milestone. With a Habitat home, she can finally provide them with the stable and nurturing environment they deserve.
