Women Build 2024

Women In Action

Our Team Fundraising Page

Hello, my name is Amelia, and I’ve proudly called Highlands County home for over 30 years. Women Build holds a special place in my heart because I know firsthand the struggles many women face. As a single mother, I faced sleepless nights, wondering if I could make ends meet, where my next paycheck would come from, and if I could find a safe home for my children after leaving a difficult relationship. The dream of owning a home felt like a distant hope—my income was stretched thin, and my credit score was in the low 400s. Through time, dedication, and resilience, I worked my way up and made that dream a reality. Women Build matters to me because it offers women in our community the same chance to create stability and pride in their own homes. It’s more than just building houses—it’s about providing a safe, welcoming space for families and creating a legacy of opportunity and security for the next generation. In August 2024, I achieved my dream of becoming a homeowner, now remarried and ready to support other women on their journey to homeownership. Together, through Women Build, we’re not only building homes—we’re building stronger futures.

We're raising money for Highlands County Habitat for Humanity!

I’m excited to be part of Women Build 2024—a transformative event supporting Highlands County Habitat for Humanity—and this year, Women in Action is coming together to make an even bigger impact! Women Build is about more than just constructing homes; it’s about creating a foundation of strength, safety, and hope for families in our community. I’m reaching out to ask for your help in making this vision a reality, whether by joining our team or supporting our fundraising efforts!

Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Join Our Team: Step up with Women in Action and be part of something meaningful. Whether you’re new to building or a seasoned volunteer, your skills, enthusiasm, and presence will make a difference. Together, we’ll empower each other and lift up families in need.

2. Donate: Every donation, large or small, builds more than a house—it builds a future. Every dollar you give goes directly toward making safe, affordable housing a reality for families in Highlands County.

3. Spread the Word: Amplify our mission by sharing our story with your friends, family, and social networks. By helping spread the word, you’re expanding the reach of our impact and supporting Highlands County’s families in a powerful way.

Your support—whether you donate, join our team, or help share our cause—means the world to me and the entire Women in Action team. Together, we’re building not just homes, but a brighter, stronger future for our community. Let’s make this year’s Women Build unforgettable!
