Meet Sidi, a 55-year-old grandmother in Kenya who is raising her 13-year-old son and three grandchildren.

Every morning, Sidi wakes before sunrise to buy fish from local fishermen. She fries and sells them alongside vegetables she grows herself, earning about $3 a day to provide for her family. Some days, there is only one meal to share.

Her home, while a place of laughter and love, was damaged by fire years ago and leaks during every rainstorm. To stay dry, she and the children gather under umbrellas they open inside their home. Despite these overwhelming challenges, Sidi continues to do everything she can to care for and provide for those she loves.

Thanks to a generous whole-home sponsor, the family will soon have a new home with access to clean water, sanitation, and a bicycle to help Sidi get her fish and veggies to market. Follow along as the walls go up, and Sidi begins a new chapter filled with hope and opportunity.

It’s official — the sign is up! 🙌

Seeing The Lofts permanent sign go up makes this project feel a little more real.

We’re getting closer every day to welcoming residents into a new affordable senior living community right here in Franklin, designed to offer comfortable, thoughtfully planned homes for adults 55+.

There’s still work happening behind the scenes, but this is a pretty exciting milestone — and we can’t wait to share more as we get closer to opening our doors.

The Family Room at The Lofts is coming to life!

Adam Roddick installed this stunning wallpaper, which will soon serve as the backdrop for countless conversations, shared meals, card games, and family visits around a large community table.

Between the windows, a baby grand piano will be ready to fill the room with music and memories.

A huge thank you to A. O. Smith for donating hot water heaters for every apartment in our newest affordable senior housing project, The Lofts!

Their generous donation is helping us maximize our resources as we work to create attainable housing opportunities here in Middle TN and across the world. We couldn't do this without partners like you, and we're grateful for the impact your generosity will have on the residents who will soon call The Lofts home.

Thirty ProLine electric water heaters will support a new affordable housing development for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

After losing everything to Hurricane Mitch in 1999, Margoth spent years working grueling hours as a housemaid, selling tortillas in one of Tegucigalpa’s toughest neighborhoods, and doing whatever it took to provide for her five children.

Through every hardship, she kept moving forward - even covering half of her daughter’s university tuition. Her biggest dream? A safe home - complete with a solid roof, a front door with a lock, and clean water and sanitation nearby.

Join us over the next few weeks as we share how Margoth’s dream came to fruition thanks to our nonprofit partners on the ground, donations from supporters around the world, and our superhero mom herself!

If you’d like to be part of making the next dream possible, you can learn more or give a gift toward our Global Pledge at www.shelterequity.org/globalpledge.
