“Feels good to have something I can call my own,” Ohio woman says after mortgage payoff
In the 1990s, Angela Kelly’s son was volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and told her that she should apply to become a homeowner. Having lost her job and maxed out her credit cards, she said there was no opportunity for her. Then, a winning lottery ticket worth $5,000 allowed her to pay off her credit cards. She found a new job and got her financial house in order. In 1999, she became a Habitat homeowner with the local affiliate that has since become the Clark County Fuller Center for Housing. Now, she has paid off that mortgage with those zero-percent-interest payments going into a fund to help others in her local community get the same hand-up through the Clark County Fuller Center. She talks about her journey and how “God works in mysterious ways,” in a new article that appears in the Springfield News-Sun that you can read by clicking the link below:
