A ground breaking ceremony is set to take place with Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent and the Davis family in Wallaceburg.
Last month it was announced that Ryan and Becca Davis, along with their three children Isaac, 8, April, 7, and Olive, 2, would be the recipients of a brand new home built through the Habitat for Humanity program.
The ceremony will take place at 160 Forhan St. in Wallaceburg on Saturday, May 23 at 10 a.m.
“I’m pretty sure I screamed really loudly,” Becca said, describing her reaction to the news.
The house will have three bedrooms, and once finished will include a special room built for Ryan’s medical needs.
Ryan has been on dialysis for almost four years and undergoes over three hours of treatments every other day.
Currently the only space in their house to do this is in the basement, which has had major flooding issues in the past.
“I’m just excited that it’s going to be mine. I’ve never had my own home before… it’s something I’ve always wanted,” Becca said.
Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent was founded in 2009 and built their first home in 2013.
