Mores Family
“Achieving homeownership has been my dream as a single parent. I always thought it was impossible, but God showed me one more time that nothing is impossible for him.”
Diana Mores was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and moved to Florida in 2008 with her mother, stepfather, and little brother.

In her free time, she loves to read, research, and learn about and celebrate other cultures. Diana had always dreamed that her family would have their own home, but rising rent and home prices made this dream feel out of reach; this was until she learned of Habitat for Humanity. At her first Habitat Homeowner volunteer shift, Diana received a Habitat-branded keychain. When she looks at it now, it brings tears to her eyes and serves as a reminder that she is on the path to homeownership.
Since qualifying for Habitat’s Homeownership program, Diana has already felt the strength, passion, and enthusiasm of Habitat Partner families. She looks forward to completing partnership hours on her home and the homes of her future neighbors. .
