Home at Last

Charles and Mary Rahming were married in 1971 and have 5 children, 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. They currently live in Boynton Beach, Florida. Charles served in the United States Army from 1969 to 1973. Mary and Charles believe “Good things have and are coming together and we are on the right road. The Rahming's will soon move into the first home. Charles and Mary thank God for this blessing and are grateful for their new family at Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County, which Mary says “has been a God send; Habitat builds hope and fulfills impossible dreams , because through God, the impossible has been made possible”. The Rahming home will be built in June 2014, in Delray Beach, during Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County Blitz Build. This home will be completed in one week thanks to the generosity of RCC Associates. RCC’s offices are located in Deerfield Beach. They a donating their staff time and materials to Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County and to the Rahming family to get this home built in a week! All Habitat families must work at least 400 sweat equity hours on their own home or a neighbor’s home. The Rahming family has far exceeded this requirement. They are also required to attend at least 100 classroom hours on subjects such as home ownership, home repairs and financial readiness. Habitat families are required to pay back a no-interest mortgage. Habitat programs are truly a hand up, not a hand out!
Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County is a Veteran’s Build Initiative affiliate and are proud to serve active military and veteran families by providing new homes and home rehabilitation services to those who qualify.
