Nobody we know has a lot of extra money right now, but if everybody we know gives just $25 (although we won't be offended if you send more), the job will get done.

You will be helping families where both parent work full-time but don't earn $25 an hour together.  Their net income is sucked up every month just paying high rents for tiny, crowded apartments in dangerous buildings.  That's because New Jersey is the 5th most expensive state in the country for renters.  And the price of homes here in North Jersey was astronomically out of reach for low-income working families before, during and after the real estate bubble.

With your help, Paterson Habitat can offer these families the security of a simple decent home of their own-and the dignity of financing it through a no-interest Habitat mortgage.

if you are like most of us, the value of your own home and your 401K looked better in 2005 than it does right now.  While $25 is not an inconsequential amount, it won't have a lasting effect on your finances.  But your $25 gift will have a long-lasting effect on the life of a deserving family.
