CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Habitat for Humanity has celebrated the dedication of another home.

On Saturday, June 4, the Amaral-Galli family was welcomed into their new Clearlake home by family, friends, and Habitat volunteers and staff.

“It’s hard to believe this is real,” said Cynthia Amaral-Galli. “We are so grateful for an opportunity we never thought we’d have. The first few nights sleeping in our own place, where we’re not crowded, have been so wonderful. Our daughter finally has her own room. We can’t thank everyone enough.”
