Angela’s Family

Angela and her family will be partnering with Habitat for the 2026 season. She has two daughters, Katara (14) and Serenity (9). Angela is originally from Chicago, IL, but has lived in McLean County for 10 years.
 

The family is eager and excited to be in the Habitat program saying, “Having a Habitat home will provide my family with stability, security, and a safe place to grow. It will give us peace of mind, financial stability, and the opportunity to build a better future together.”
 

The family enjoys spending quality time together doing arts and crafts. Angela enjoys painting and DIY projects like refurbishing old furniture to give it a new life and personality.
 

Katara’s favorite hobby is playing her violin, which she has been practicing for four years. Serentiy shares her mother’s interest in creating different kinds of arts and crafts. Both girls love to play video games.
 

Angela is a part of the Dreams are Possible family, where she learned the trade of HVAC work, where she hopes to continue her career. She is also involved in the Workforce Empowerment Initiative (WEI) at Heartland Community College.
 

In May of 2026, Angela is set to graduate from the HVAC program and is currently enrolled at Heartland Community College working towards an Associate of Arts in Industrial Technology. She is committed to continuing her education and advancing her skills in the trade industry.
