Dedication Day at 15 & 23 Wilson Street
July 27, 2009 | Filed Under Habitat News Archive
In spite of the overcast day, Saturday, May 16 was a day of smiles and hugs as representatives and volunteers from Habitat sponsor groups Yale-New Haven Hospital and Madison Cares joined with friends, family, co-workers of Habitat’s two newest homeowners to celebrate the completion of 15 and 23 Wilson Street.
Yale-New Haven Hospital and its medical staff partnered with Habitat for the first time to build 15 Wilson Street, the new home of Eliezer Trinidad, Evelyn Matos and their three children. In addition to financial support, 175 YNHH volunteers worked 19 weeks on the house, contributing almost 1,200 hours of labor. Volunteers included a broad cross section of departments, including doctors, nurses, administrators, health professionals, clerical and support staff, as well as some of their own family members.
Madison Cares, Habitat’s oldest house sponsor group, raised the funds and provided the volunteers for 23 Wilson Street, the home of Pedro Castro, Ginette Quiñones and their three children. The home is their fifth homebuilding project for Habitat.
