Building History

HOME: #91 The Edstrom Family

Location: Biwabik

Date Started: October 1, 2018

Date Complete: November 1, 2019

Kristine Edstrom and her boys, DaJuan (age 9) and Damari (age 1) are one of our 2019 partner familes!  They are building a new home in Biwabik.  Welcome to the Habitat Family!

Upon finding out they had been accepted into the homeownership program, Kristine shared with us, “My son, DaJuan, had the best reaction, he was so happy to know that he would have a door on his bedroom.  I cried…it has been a long time since something positive has happened to my family.  It brought more hope for future.”
