The Triplett Family- Home Builder Blitz Family
Builder: Noyes Development Co.
Dear Friends,
One of the privileges of being involved in the home-building industry is the opportunity to give back to our community. It is with great pleasure that I am writing to tell you about a project that will provide homes for over 300 hardworking families nationwide. In June, Habitat for Humanity will embark upon their annual Home Builders Blitz. Noyes Development Co. has happily agreed, as we did in 2014, to partner with Habitat and lead the building of one of two homes, to be built in Portland, over the span of only two weeks!
We are inviting our tradespeople and material suppliers to join us in this philanthropic effort by donating services and products. We are also reaching out to our other business partners and friends, such as yourself, with an invitation to participate by making a cash contribution to help cover a portion of the construction expenses.
Like all future Habitat homeowners, the Triplett family have been carefully screened by Habitat for Humanity and approved by the Habitat board for the purchase of their home located at NE 65th and Killingsworth. The Triplett’s have begun to work their required 500 hours of “sweat equity” by helping build other Habitat homes now under construction.
Affordable housing has always been a goal of our industry.
Habitat’s Home Builders Blitz 2016 takes it to the next level. These families would not otherwise qualify for housing with conventional financing. Therefore, your support will truly be part of making their dreams of homeownership come true. Thank you for your careful consideration in joining Noyes
Development with this worthwhile endeavor and please feel free to call me with any questions [phone redacted].
This year, for your convenience, we have set up a Go Fund Me site with a goal of raising $25,000 for the build. Please share this opportunity with others that would enjoy participating.
Very Sincerely,
Peter Noyes, President
ABOUT THE FAMILY:
Gabriel and Sylvia Triplett are the proud parents of two young kids, Oscar who is three and Lucy who was born this past December.
Gabriel works full-time as a pastoral associate and Sylvia is a fulltime mother, which is extra challenging as their son is disabled. Living in the Cully neighborhood for the past five years, the Triplett’s love their community, but find it extremely challenging to afford a place that meets their son’s needs.
Oscar has cerebral palsy, cortical vision impairment and a developmental and intellectual disability. He uses a wheelchair, as well as several other pieces of specialized equipment for mobility and therapy. Their current house is 2-bedroom, which they will soon outgrow as Lucy gets older, and is already too cramped for Oscar’s therapy equipment and regimen. But even more urgent is the lack of accessibility for Oscar. The door frames are too small to accommodate a wheelchair, so Gabriel and Sylvia have to move their son from room-to-room by picking him up, a challenge that will only increase the older he gets. The house has steps to the front door with no wheelchair ramp, so getting in and out of the house each day is also a process. In additional to the lack of accessibility, there are problems with the electrical, single pane windows that make the home drafty and heating inefficient and expensive, and mold growing in many places.
The Triplett family learned about Habitat through their church and were elated when they were selected into the Homeownership Program, and assigned at Helensview, allowing them to stay in their current neighborhood.
“We are so relieved. We had fear of being pushed out of our neighborhood by gentrification, but most of all we are happy to give our children a safe home that has a greater quality of life,” said Gabriel.
