In London, it was the Tulpin family — Randy, Crystal and their three sons, Damien, Nathan and Tyler — who joined with HOME representatives and various community and city partners at a ground-breaking ceremony for their soon to be built new home located on Redan Street in the Hamilton Road neighbourhood. “This is like the most amazing opportunity of a lifetime,” said Crystal who was having a hard time keeping the emotion from creeping into her voice. “Without Habitat, we wouldn’t have been able to own our own home, … this means everything to us, to provide for them (our kids) and with this opportunity of getting a house, is the greatest thing to us.” Find us on Facebook: London Community News
