Meet Our current partner Families!
The Skiles...
They are Fulton County Habitat for Humanity's 18th partner family! Their new home is located at 1016 Monroe Street, Rochester, IN 46975 and we are hoping to close on this home soon to get them all moved in!
Cameron and Aubrey are a young couple, both only a few months over 21. They are beating all the odds and don’t believe in the words, “I can’t”. They met during their high school years and began dating in September of 2017. True high school sweethearts for sure! They knew they wanted a family after graduation, 4 to be exact. Someday was the plan, but God had faster ideas. They had their first daughter, Athena, in January of 2021, and they were married that September. They both continued with school and took some accelerated paths to finish. They both graduated high school and then worked their tails off to start their life in a small rental only to find out they were getting surprised with a baby boy in June of 2022, Waylon! Their house was getting pretty tight pretty quickly. Aubrey’s mom and bonus dad decided to let them live in their house until they found something bigger. They accepted, and her parents offered to move out while they saved and searched. It wasn’t long after moving in that they were joined by their 3rd child, a baby girl named Maple in May of 2023. That was when Habitat for Humanity came into their lives! They applied and began earning hours before they even knew they were approved. Exciting things are happening for them, and they couldn’t be happier!
Now, fast forward a few months, and yep you guessed it…another bun in the oven. Baby Harper joined them in July of 2024! This is the four they always talked about and the final puzzle piece. They both attend Solid Rock church in Rochester and are pretty strong in their faith. They both work very hard at their jobs as well. Cameron has learned to weld in his new position and Aubrey is working as a laborer, both at Braun. They are looking forward to the opportunity that Fulton County Habitat for Humanity is providing them, and they have worked hard to show it. Her parents are getting happy about being able to have their home back soon too!
The gudas...
They are Fulton County Habitat for Humanity's 19th partner family! Their new home will be located at 529 W 6th Street, Rochester, IN 46975 and we plan to begin construction in early spring 2025!
In January of 2023, after a change of events, Amanda and her four kids: Seanna, Savannah, Searra, and SJ needed a place to live. As a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling three out of her four kids, there wasn’t much Amanda could afford. There were also very few homes available for rent at the time. By the grace of God, and with the support of family and friends, they moved into a one-bedroom duplex in Rochester. Although the small home has its challenges, it is what Amanda can afford. They have been making do in this home for almost two years, but they are very excited to have more living space and a beautiful yard for the kids to grow and play in their forever home.
Seanna is a junior and enjoys swimming, singing and participating in theater. Savannah is a freshman and loves to read, hunt with her aunt Kira and manage football and wrestling. Searra is in the 5th grade and loves to play soccer and spend time with family and friends. SJ is all boy and loves cars, dinosaurs and sharks. Amanda is now cleaning houses for a living. When she isn’t taking the kids to ALL of their extracurricular activities, she spends much of her time at Heartland church and Celebrate Recovery at the Cross.
