Habitat Family

The story was heart-breaking.

Six kids were living in a van. Surrounded by filthy conditions, they stole food to survive, had few clothes and didnt go to school. There was little hope for a future.

It was a tragedy in Charleston, W.Va. But this story has a happy ending.

MotionMasters volunteered its time and talents to produce a six-minute DVD that shares the emotional, uplifting story of a local family whose lives were turned around thanks to a kind-hearted woman and Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam County.

Donna King stepped in to provide a home for her six great nieces and nephews. Faced with cramped conditions in her small trailer, she applied for a Habitat home. Now she has a new place for the children — a safe, clean haven where they are thriving.

The story is just one of many happy endings written by Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam County. Working with a host of volunteers, the group has built 118 homes for area families — all of whom have remarkable stories to share.

MotionMasters was pleased to be part of this wonderful project and hopes that it encourages more generous giving during the holiday season and beyond!
