She’s a compassionate mother with a strong support system. But life was challenging when she and her daughter shared a room at her mother’s home. As a single mother, she didn’t know how she would afford to stay here — where she calls home. Her Habitat home is key for Tanya, allowing her to do the work that calls her.

“I work with all the preschool programs from Gypsum to Vail. It’s hard to find counseling in both languages here — it’s a very big need in our community. It pushed me to move forward— to be able to provide the community with counseling,” Tanya says.

“Having a bilingual counselor is a unique gift to Your Hope Center and Eagle County Schools. She is dedicated and invested in our community,” says Carrie Benway, executive director of Your Hope Center

Without a safe, affordable home, the impact she has on families would not be possible. Tanya’s Habitat home allows her to flourish near her family and provide support and stability for future generations.
