LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Feb. 4, Habitat for Humanity Lake County was excited to celebrate with the Solorio family as they were welcomed into Habitat’s 40th home in Lake County.

Ana Solorio celebrated with family and friends and Habitat staff and volunteers as Father Marlon of Queen of Peace Catholic Church offered prayers, blessings and cleansing of the home.

“I still feel like I’m dreaming,” said Solorio, blinking away emotional tears. “I’m happy I didn’t give up … and so thankful for all of the work that went into this home and getting me into it. Having a place where my family can be safe and call ours is something I didn’t think would ever happen.”
