massage therapist. - Summer Rentsch, Wellness Director

In 2012, Lucy saw an ad for Habitat for Humanity and applied for
a house. One year later, after 300 hours of volunteering with the
program, she closed on her own home. “That’s when I thought
to myself, ‘I think this country wants me to be here,’” Lucy said.

When she immigrated to the U.S., Lucy brought her youngest
son with her, but her eldest son stayed behind. Now that Lucy is
a citizen, she can apply for him and his family (which includes
her first grandchild) to move to the U.S. with her. Although she
tries to visit Peru every two years, her becoming a U.S. citizen has
given her family the chance to be reunited. “Now I have rights, I
have responsibilities, and I have privilege,” Lucy said.
