We celebrated the life of President Jimmy Carter this weekend by gathering with supporters and staff at one of our build sites, donning his signature red handkerchief and connecting over coffee. Some shared stories of meeting the Carters: on a work project, a plane, at church, a book-signing. Others told how the Carters inspired through their example of service and compassion. Even from afar, their authenticity and strong work ethic struck a chord. “I think it’s pretty unusual for an ex-president that this many people have a personal connection or have met him,” observed Matina Kaufmann, VP of Homeownership and Neighborhood Programs. “I think that’s pretty unique and special.”

“You have to make do with the tools at your disposal and figure out how to do things outside the box to achieve your goal,” says Divaa-elon. She’s one of our current Habitat AmeriCorps members — combining her natural creativity and curiosity as Home Repair Crew Lead. Divaa-elon hopes to learn enough over the next year to be a jack-of-all-trades. Among other things, she’s earned her Forklift Certification and has helped a homeowner repair a huge hole in their ceiling caused by a leaky roof. Divaa-elon is also an aspiring animator and has brought her artistic talent to our Playhouse Experience. She helped with the trauma-informed design of the playhouse for Path Home, incorporating circular shapes to evoke a calming experience for the kids. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Divaa-elon has spent much of her life in the Pacific Northwest. But she’s new to Portland and loves exploring the city’s unique character and things that #keepportlandweird

On this National Day of Mourning for President Jimmy Carter, we celebrate his life and honor his legacy. Several Habitat Portland Region staff have shared memories of meeting him and being inspired by his example. Erika Kennel, VP of Resource Development, took this photo of President and Mrs. Carter in 2009. “Their warmth and curiosity weren’t just small talk; they embodied the spirit of Habitat for Humanity — humility, connection, and shared purpose,” Kennel recalled.

The year is off to a bright start for Heather, her children, and their pretty kitties! They celebrated their first holiday season in the Habitat home Heather helped build. After overcoming unimaginable challenges, Heather has created a safe, stable space where her family can thrive ❤️ “It was important for me to be able to own my own place and have a home for my children. I wanted to grow. I wanted to be able to have something to pass down to my kids,” she said. Read Heather’s powerful story on our blog – https://lnkd.in/gwdmFDiH

“Like other Habitat volunteers, I have learned that our greatest blessings come when we are able to improve the lives of others.” - President Jimmy Carter
