Meet The Morales Family - 2010 Build
Dolores Morales, born in Uvalde, Texas, a small city close to Houston, grew up with her mother, Enedina, and older sister. After her sister, Crystal, joined the military, she married a man from Franklin, TN. In 2004, Dolores and her mom came to visit Franklin and never returned to Texas.
Dolores has two beautiful daughters, Karla (4) and Kayla (2). Karla is the shy one and Kayla is the outgoing one. They are typical kids who love cartoons and doing things like arts and crafts.
Dolores works at Goodwill Industries in Franklin as an Administrative Assistant. She loves her work and also volunteers with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), a nonprofit that provides legal services for children finding them a safe home. With little time to spare she loves being home with her girls.
Dolores can’t wait to move into her new home after years of moving from one place to another always looking for a better place to raise her family. She appreciates the stability a Habitat home will give her and that her kids will always know that this is their home.
Once settled, she plans to start earning an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice/Social Services with a focus on Juvenile Services. Dolores hopes to do well in life by getting an advanced education.
Dolores has earned over 420 sweat equity hours and enjoyed working in the Habitat ReStore in Cool Springs on Saturdays. It was tough at times when her mom was gone to visit family in Texas and her sister was working to find a babysitter. Dolores knows that her hard work will pay off and she strives to set a good example for her children.
Dolores wants her sponsor to know, “Thank you for your time and efforts to provide this opportunity for my family to live better.”
