Bringing the Kentucky Derby to California
Habitat for Humanity of Puerto Rico
After living in Puerto Rico for several months, I was heartbroken to learn that since the last hurricane, there are still many families living in homes without running water & electricity. Habitat for Humanity helps low-income families build homes with the monetary donations provided & through volunteer & the families’ own labor contributions. This captivated me the most, families working together to achieve security for their family rather than just being handed a home. Truly a labor of love!
Habitat selects families using non-discriminatory criteria & in turn requires each family to contribute four hundred (400) hours of work distributed between the construction of their home and participation in educational workshops. The construction of the houses is carried out in collaboration with volunteers, private and public donors and with the help of the community.
Once the construction of the home is completed, the selected family pays a mortgage for a period of twenty-five years, with a zero percent interest, & without any profit for Habitat. The real cost of housing is subsidized by Habitat through donations of materials, services & / or monetary contributions from individuals & corporations.
Monthly mortgage payments are entered into a revolving fund to help more families obtain a home of their own.

Bow tie time
We all have a different level of comfort when it comes to shoes so I want to set you up for success! If you plan to drive, you will need to walk a quarter of a mile on a dirt road to the main event area. If you UBER then they will be able to drop you off right at the entrance. A majority of the event will be held on grass. To watch the horse race we will walk back down the dirt road (no more than a quarter of a mile) to the arena. I recommend wearing wedges & bring flats. If you decide to wear heels, I found a cool heel protector that you put on
