Meet the Sambe Family

Hello, we are the Sambe family. After moving to the United States and moving from apartment to apartment, paying money out of the window, we started thinking about buying a house. I was talking to one of my colleagues and she told me about a homeownership program she was in at Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley and how to apply.

I’ve made poor decisions in the past and with bad credit, there was no way I would be approved for a house. That’s when I told my sister and her husband (Soukey and Abdou) to apply and now they have a Habitat home of their own. After fixing my credit with the help of Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley’s financial coach we decided to apply and were approved.

My wife and I are looking forward to a place to call home. Where our kids will feel safe. We are so fortunate to have the support of Soukey and Abdou and all of our friends who come out to volunteer and help us throughout this process. We want to thank Habitat for Humanity and your team for helping us and showing us the way. Habitat for Humanity is the best program for people like us. I hope they stay around for many many years, and for many many generations.
