Beatriz Lopez and her three children; Blanca (18), Juan (16), and Claudia (13) are excited to be Homeowner Partners with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity. Although the family works to take great care of their current rental home, the house is too small for the family and has structural, plumbing, and electrical concerns. A new safe house to call their own will be a dream come true for this family.

Beatriz works at Birds Eye Foods and her children study in college, high school and middle school. The Lopez family is affiliated with San Felipe de Jesus Catholic Church in Fennville. Beside attending church, the family spends their time watching movies, cooking and playing sports.

Illustrating a small portion of the Lopez family's difficult past and their present feelings toward Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity, Beatriz expresses that "My children and I have lived a hard life. My children would like to have their own house, the freedom in their own room and the space for our family to feel good…We also pray for more people like [Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity] that take the time to help people's dreams come true."
