Tampa, FL — In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Habitat for Humanity teamed up to build two Tampa homes.

Crews were out early this morning working on the 2nd annual Suzie Q. Blitz Build, which includes the first women build house, a project constructed solely with female volunteers and supervisors. It will take about seven days to build the homes. One of the homeowners says not living in an apartment will be a change of pace.

“Different, different. It’s your house. It’s going to be my house and I stop paying for other people. It’s going to be for me. It’s going to be different,” says future homeowner Jahayra Gonzalez. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Moffitt Cancer Center. (source 10connects – chanel10.com)
