Diamond W. Shines as First Cornerstone Creek Homeowner

On Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, Diamond W. smiled and displayed her new house keys to about 40 well-wishers, who cheered the young mother’s accomplishment of buying her first home through Habitat.
“I want to thank everyone for playing a part in my now-forever home. Whether you helped by watching my child while I worked or whether it was putting a shingle on my house,” Diamond W. said, “I just know I’m extremely thankful for you all from the bottom of my heart … especially in this economy with everything going up, but the pay per hour. I thank Rebecca (Kendall) for choosing me to have the opportunity not only to give myself a home but also to give my child a home in which to grow up. And I want to thank you, Ann (Felton Gilliland), for everything you have done. It is such a blessing! “
Diamond W., with her 14-month-old daughter Demi on her hip, was later interviewed by several TV stations. She then gave attendees tours of her new home.
