Our 2024 Women Build homebuyer was selected! Watch as Shirley learns the news with our friends from Arize Together. Already rooted in the Murray Hill neighborhood, Shirley is an active member of the Arize Together community and her church, as well as an enthusiastic employee at ReThreaded. We celebrate the stronger future she is building through a beautiful, affordable home!

Shirley had been praying for a home – “A home that I can take care of and one day have something I can leave to my children. Most of all, a safe place for me and my family.​” A resident of Jacksonville for her entire life, Shirley celebrated becoming a Jacksonville homeowner for the first time.

Help survivors of sexual exploitation gain the stability and self-reliance they seek and deserve. You can donate to Women Build in Shirley’s honor and include a message of encouragement using the button below.
