Mirna will become a Habitat homeowner in Magnolia Village in the Issaquah Highlands in 2010.  This is the next step of a long journey that began for Mirna in Mexico and will continue in Issaquah in her own home.  Mirna and her three children, Alonzo, 12, Eduardo, 5, and Aryana, 3 currently live in a dangerous area where they are constantly on alert for car thefts, drug dealers and strangers at their door.  In addition, they live in a flood zone and in four years, their apartment has been flooded three times causing the children to be afraid every time it rains.  As the sole wage earner in the family, Mirna works hard but “she always tries to balance work with her family’s quality time.”  Her ultimate dream is to have all of her children attend college.  Owning a Habitat home for the family is an important step in achieving the stability and peace of mind they need as they work together to fulfill Mirna’s dream.
