Giveback Homes was honored to celebrate Los Angeles resident LaTonya Thompson at the dedication of her brand new home on Friday, August 21st. Giveback Homes members were able to help build LaTonya's home at a build day with Habitat For Humanity of Greater Los Angeles in June and now we're excited to see the final product. The moment where her dream became a reality was celebrated with a dedication ceremony. "It's been a long journey to become a homeowner, but I'm here now and enjoying every minute of it."
