2. Dear Friends and Partners,
This year, Habitat for Humanity of Lee County surpassed the construction of 900 homes since
our beginning in 1982. Today, Habitat homes can be found in all parts of Lee County; Harlem
Heights, Dunbar, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers,
Pine Island and even in parts of Hendry County. We plan to continue our ambitious efforts
in the area, building at least one hundred homes every year and offering family support to our
home owners.
Because of our local community interest in housing deserving families in Lee County, we can
continue to help eliminate the sub standard living conditions right here in our community
by giving a hand-up and not a hand-out. When we evaluate our lives closely, we can see the
blessings God has bestowed upon each of us; great and small. In this report, you will read
the stories from some of our friends who have partnered with Habitat over the years. These
partners have poured out their blessings generously to Lee and Hendry County families in many
different ways. I John 3:17-18 says, “If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need
but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with
words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”
At Habitat for Humanity of Lee County, we are proud to say that our donors and volunteers
have grasped this concept by giving of their time and resources. As we go forward, we know that
our donors and volunteers will continue supporting our needs in the community for those in
need. We are excited for what the future has in store for Habitat and know that our supporters
will be behind us.
On behalf of Habitat, we would like to thank our friends and partners who have helped make a
difference here in Lee County during the past two decades. We appreciate your commitment to
the community!
With a Grateful Heart and In Habitat Spirit,
Vern Archibald Charles K. Idelson

6. Families Power of Partnerships
Ramon & Edith Rivera
Ramon and Edith Rivera were the
very first Habitat for Humanity of Lee
County homeowners. “A city worker was
in the area and told our family about the
Habitat program that was just starting
here,” says Ramon. The Rivera family
moved into their home in 1982 and paid
their last mortgage payment in 2000.
“We were so happy to just be in the
program, it was something unexpected
and meant we didn’t have to pay rent
any longer. And we were overjoyed when we made that last payment,” Ramon says. The family says
they learned how to paint and lay tiles during their sweat equity. Today, the Rivera’s six children
are all grown; Ramon, Jr., 54, Anna, 52, Ricardo, 44, Rueban, 42, Alicia, 41, Reynaldo, 34, as
they welcome the five grandkids into their home. “If Habitat gives you an opportunity to enter the
program, take it, because it’s a good opportunity and it probably won’t come twice,” says Ramon.
Shonda Batio
It’s been 13 years now, since Shonda Batio first
moved into her Harlem Heights Habitat home. “At
the time I was a single parent and just got out of
LPN school and I wanted affordable housing for
my kids and me. It was one of my biggest blessings
in my life. I remember being in disbelief when I
got approved,” says Batio. With a full-time job,
two kids and no family in the area, Shonda says
the sweat equity hours seemed to take forever. “It
was a long journey to where I am now. I’ve always
been very
appreciative of my home. In fact, I remember it was the
Kiwanis Club on Sanibel Island that sponsored my home.
I learned a very important lesson through that program,
that if you really want something, you can do it,” says
Shonda. Since then, Shonda has married, her son has gone
off to college in Virginia and also gotten married while her
daughter is a senior at the Cypress Lake Center of Arts.
“The home is a reflection of yourself and your family and
I’ve really taken pride in my home in everything I do,” says Shonda.

Seferino & Paula Martinez
Living alone as a widow wasn’t easy for Paula Martinez. So
she opted to have her son, Seferino, share a mobile home
with her in Bonita Springs. In 2002, the city decided to
uproot the community of homes with a roadway passing
through, thus forcing homeowners to find a new location.
With prices out of
reach for the widow
and son, a friend recommended Habitat for Humanity.
The two entered the program together and closed on
their Bonita Springs home in October 2003. At the same
time, Paula’s 18-year old niece was living with in-laws and
sharing a room with her husband and son. She also found
Habitat for Humanity as the only option for her family to
own a home in Lee County as well. A month before Paula
and Seferino closed on their home, Alicia Garcia & Joel Rodriguez moved in next door.
Jasmine Martinez
Families
Jasmine Martinez may be new in the
Habitat family, but Habitat’s program
has been a household name for years.
“My grandmother (Paula Martinez)
and uncle went through the program
four years ago to get a home in Bonita
Springs. My cousin also went through
the program and got a home next door
to my grandmother,” says Jasmine.
Martinez closed on her Lehigh Acres
home in November of 2007 after
completing her sweat equity and
homeowner classes in just under four
months. “I like that Habitat worked with
me a lot. It’s hard to find a place to live
that goes by your income and if you can find something, it’s usually not a safe place for kids,” says
Jasmine. Before entering Habitat’s program, Martinez was sharing a room with her two and a half
year-old son in Jasmine’s parent’s house. “I really wanted us to have a home of our own, but I was a
full-time student and couldn’t afford the high prices here. My brothers helped me finish my hours
so I could be in my house by Christmas,” says Martinez.

Raeshonda Williams
Families
Raeshonda Williams was a single parent with four kids living in an apartment that was frequented
by crime. “The area just was not safe for my kids to be growing up in. I needed a place that would
be in a safe area and had a backyard for the
children to play,” says Williams. Raeshonda’s
Lehigh Acres home was dedicated in December
2007. “It was really a good experience for me
because I learned a lot of things around the
house that I can do on my own that I didn’t
know how to do before. Siding is one of them.
If I ever want to change the color of my home
or need to put up new siding, I now know how
to do it on my own,” Williams says. Raeshonda
says the most trying part of the Habitat
program was the labor put into building a
home and learning patience on the worksites
to get through her sweat equity hours, but today she’s all smiles as she’s finally earned the keys to
her new home. “I feel really good and really proud to finally say that I’m a homeowner!” exclaims
Williams.
James & Tara Saunders
James and Tara Saunders had only been married a couple of
years in 1994 when a Habitat employee suggested Habitat for
Humanity of Lee County as an option to stop renting. “We
were renting an apartment here and there and it seemed like
we were moving around a lot,” says Saunders. After applying
for the homeownership program, Tara learned about the
AmeriCorps Vista program with the organization as well and
served for two years with Habitat. “I never knew a program
like that existed that allowed me to give back while receiving
a stipend and education award, it was what I needed at the
time,” she recalls. The family moved into their new home
in December of 1995. Since then, the family has rooted
themselves in serving the community. James is a firefighter
while Tara works for the Emergency Medical Services. Today,
James and Tara and their three children; Allen, 17, Shea, 11
and Parker, 5 are grateful to have entered the Habitat program
when they did. “It’s definitely helped us get to where we are today. When we started we had very
little and today we have careers, a home we can afford and healthy children.

Oleksanda &Valeriy Vendenko
Ukraine natives Oleksanda & Valeriy Vendenko migrated to the United States in the early 90’s in
search of job opportunities, but found prices unaffordable for their family to own a home. A long-
time Habitat donor told the family
about the organization’s program.
In 2005, the family closed on their
North Fort Myers home. “It’s great!
My mother is planting a lot of trees
and my dad is putting up a fence,”
says daughter Anastasia. “My father
even turned the garage into a studio
because he’s an artist and needed the
space,” she says. Anastasia finished
her last year at Wellesley College in
Massachusetts and has since moved
back to Lee County where she’s
getting clinical experience to enter the
medical field. Meanwhile, Oleksanda has opened an ice cream shop on Sanibel Island. “Our family
Families
is so happy to have this house. We have lots of plans for landscaping and we’re very thankful to this
organization for giving us the chance to have this house,” says Oleksanda.
John &Lisa Trupo
John and Lisa Trupo were fed up living
in their small apartment with high rent,
located behind a substation with heavy
traffic in their backyard. The family
of four was accepted into Habitat’s
homeownership program and closed
on their Cape Coral home in May
2007. “John and I were motivated to
get our hours completed in just a few
months so the girls could have their
own rooms,” says Lisa. The Trupos now
enjoy their quiet neighborhood and big
backyard. “I have the best neighbors in
the world I think. It’s been really good
for us to have a home of our own where
we can put up a fence in the backyard. In fact, we even got a dog for the girls and we’re working on
getting a swingset as well,” says Lisa.

African Caribbean and American Catholic Center
More than half of Habitat’s volunteers
are under the age of 30. Habitat has been
blessed to have had every Lee County
high school partner with the organization
in 2007. Plus, several elementary and
middle schools as well as Florida Gulf
Coast University and Edison College
students pitched in as well. In addition
to the local colleges, many students
from all over the U.S. spent their Spring
Break with Lee County’s Habitat affiliate
this year, helping organization 70,000
volunteers. The African Caribbean and
American Catholic Center, a mentoring
program for teenage boys, is one of many
Volunteers
youth groups giving back to the community through Habitat’s volunteer program. “It’s an excellant
way to teach the boys about giving back to the community and family values. On top of that, the
Habitat construction leaders have been great mentors to the kids,” says Dave Lyons, AFCAAM.
Gartner, Inc.
Gartner, Inc. has volunteered with Habitat for more than four years, choosing to work on build
sites for two weeks at a time. In 2007, the group sent 131 volunteers to the job site and racked up
786 volunteer hours. This type of
commitment is the driving force that
keeps Habitat building. “Not only
does working with Habitat allow us
to give back to the community, it
also enables more team building and
stronger relationships within our own
work environment as we work side by
side and get to know each other just a
little bit more,” says Judy Robertson,
Sr. Sales Operations Mgr. “When we
volunteer on a housing site, everyone
walks away with a renewed outlook on
life and what truly matters – helping
others whenever and wherever you can. It is an amazing feeling the impact of just one day of
volunteering can make on someone else’s life,” says Robertson.

Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ
Sanibel Congregational United Church
of Christ has partnered with Habitat
for over 15 years, giving more than
$167,000. “Most of our congregation
is older and cannot volunteer on the
sites, but they’ve been very good about
giving what they can,” says Sanibel-
UCC member Brenda Tate. In the last
two years, the church has sponsored
two homes and is currently working on
their third. And those who can build
are doing so. “Dick Travas is a member
of the church and volunteers weekly in
Habitat’s warehouse preconstructing
walls. Donna Aldridge is an active
Volunteers
participant in the congregation and comes out at least three days a week,” says Tate.
Dean Dozier
Dean Dozier began volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of Lee County in February 2007. “I
had been familiar with their work
and had recently returned from a
missions trip. I was determined that
I needed to get some building skills
before my next missions trip and
I thought Habitat would help me
attain those skills for future trips,”
Dean says. Since then, 75-year
old Dozier has learned more than
just building skills on Habitat’s
construction sites; he’s learned how
he can make a difference locally.
“The thing that I’m impressed with
about Habitat is the quality of their
building standards. Habitat builds
an outstanding house! It’s not just
thrown together, there is a lot of work that goes into the building of those homes. The supervisors
are pros with a a lot of patience for the volunteers and they’ve helped me be more effective,” says
Dozier.

Gene Suggs
Volunteers
Unemployment rates went through the roof in 2007, setting
some all time highs. In his late 50’s, Gene Suggs is one of many
long-time construction workers laid off from the industry.
“My severance package has run out, so now I’m collecting
unemployment while I’m without a job,” says Suggs. After two
months of struggling to find a job opening, Gene decided to
donate some of his time and talent to Habitat. “I was sitting at
home living off of savings. It wasn’t fulfilling. My life felt empty
and I needed a reason to get up each morning and continue
doing something and I wanted to do it in an area I’m skilled in,”
he says. Gene considered leaving the Lee County area in pursuit
of another construction job, but with family moving to the area
in less than a year, leaving the community didn’t seem like a
feasible option. Gene decided to spend three to five days a week
volunteering “I’m just hoping the market comes back sometime
soon, but for now, I’ll continue volunteering my time to a worthy
cause and give back to the community with the time I’ve been
given,” says Suggs.
Cape Christian Fellowship
Cape Christian Fellowship first stepped foot on a Habitat for Humanity construction site because
of a church member who had entered the homeownership program. The church helped Bill
Watson and his two grandchildren achieve 500
sweat equity hours and own a home through
Habitat’s program. “It’s our mission to give of
ourselves and do what Jesus did. We’re all called
to share our blessings and talents with others.
It’s the story of the talents. Why bury a skill
or talent when you can help make the world
a better place,” says George Camargo, a Cape
Christian Fellowship member. Since Watson,
several others interested in homeownership
through Habitat have approached the church
for help with their hours as well. “It’s about
building relationships. This is what we should be doing everyday and by volunteering, it allows
us to build friendships with homeowners and other volunteers we may have otherwise never met.
Everybody has something to offer regardless of their age or gender; it’s a team effort,” says Camargo.
Cape Christian Fellowship volunteers work on Habitat construction sites every month.

Pelican Landing
Pelican Landing residents, under the leadership of Gerry Lanois, have been fund raising and wall
raising with Habitat for Humanity of Lee County for the past 5 years. In November 2007, the
group constructed their sixth Habitat home in
Lee County. “Most of us feel we have gotten
so much out of life and now that we’ve hit
retirement, we want to give some of that back,”
says Ted Smith, a Pelican Landing resident.
Pelican Landing residents first got involved with
Habitat because of the lack of affordable housing
in their area. “Habitat really gets the results back
into the hands of those in need. There isn’t a
huge amount of administrative costs and you
can see the work and effort that goes into these
homes,” says Smith. Since then, the group says
they benefit greatly by being involved. “To see
Volunteers
the joy and tears in the homeowners when they receive the keys, it’s priceless and that’s why we
contiue to do this,” says Smith. The Garden Club from Pelican Landing has also stepped in by
planting the trees and bushes for the homes.
Bonita Bay
The Bonita Bay Group and Bonita Bay Residents have also been instrumental in both fund raising
and volunteering with Habitat. The Bonita Bay Residents has been partnering with Habitat for
five years as well. Cal Walker and Tom Lammert organize and lead the volunteers on Habitat
construction sites three to four times a week.
The residents first decided to get involved
with Habitat because of the growing need for
affordable housing in Bonita Springs. “We live
in Bonita Springs and are well aware that so
many workers are traveling from Cape Coral,
Fort Myers and Lehigh to come work in our
community. We want to be able to provide
housing for our workers here. It’s too expensive
for an entry-level position to drive that far to
work here and yet too expensive for them to live here, so we want to be part of a solution,” says
Walker. Since their first Habitat houseraising in the Rosemary Park area, the group has decided to
continue a neighborhood ‘spruce up’ and has sponsored homes along the street. In 2008 the group
will raise the first Habitat Twin Villa in Bonita Springs; a new design for the Lee County affiliate.
“We have fun building houses. We get about 30 nailpounders together and go to work together,”
says Walker. Page 11

Biddy Lang
Donors
In 1999, Biddy Lang and her husband began
renovating some apartments the couple had
invested in. A Habitat employee suggested the
two get materials to help in the remodeling from
the Habitat Thrift Store. This was the couple’s
first encounter with what would become a legacy
of giving. Soon Biddy and her husband were
volunteering on construction sites and donating
to the cause. After her husband passed away,
Biddy carried on their legacy of giving to Habitat’s
mission. In 2006, Lang was honored with
Habitat’s Lifetime Achievement award. Although
Biddy cannot do much on the construction
site, she continues to volunteer with Habitat by
stuffing envelopes for Habitat’s bulk mailing a few times a year and giving financially to the charity.
Bonita-Estero Association of Realtors
In 2006, the Bonita Springs-
Estero-Association of Realtors
chose Habitat for Humanity
of Lee County to benefit
from their annual auction. In
2007, the group of realtors
ramped up their involvement
with Habitat by also
contributing monies from a
golf tournament and their
2007 annual auction. On
December 15th, BEAR lifted
the walls on a Fort Myers
home to mark the first home
sponsorship the group has
contributed to. “We’re in the
business of selling homes and making dreams come true just like Habitat for Humanity. There was
an instant connection we saw between what we do and what Habitat does so we figured this would
be the best partnership for us,” says Nancy Martin, Realtor and Chairman of BEAR’s Banquet
Committee.

Henry Camosse
Donors
It was 1997 when Henry Camosse first
became acquainted with Habitat for
Humanity of Lee County. At a fundraiser,
Henry heard about the organization’s work
in his backyard. “My dad was always the one
who tried to support people who needed help
and I guess he passed that on to me,” says
Camosse. “There are a lot of charities out
there and sometimes it becomes a big question
as to who to give to, but when you see the
results and the progress that Habitat continues
to make in the community it makes you feel
like your contributing so much. I wish I could
actually be out there to build, but I’ve been
blessed financially and I’m able to give back in
that manner. I’m just a small part in the bigger
picture of Habitat’s work, but I’m glad I can be that part,” says Camosse.
Wright Construction
In 2007, Habitat for Humanity
announced it’s Builder’s Blitz campaign
as part of a nationwide effort to
encourage local contractors to get
involved in the local Habitat affiliate’s
mission. The Builder’s Blitz allows
Habitat for Humanity to increase
affiliate capacity by continuing
with regular production schedules
while professional builders organize
and execute the blitz build. Wright
Construction, located in South Fort
Myers, was the first Lee County
construction company to jump on board with the idea. Wright Construction will build a home
from frame to finish in 2008 and get involved in fundraising for the materials. Since 1997, the
construction company has been a proud supporter of the charity. The complete value of their
newest contribution is over $150,000. Wright Construction is a Christian construction company
that provides full construction management and building services.

16. Corporate Sponsor of the Year
Colonial Roofing
Donors
In 2007, Colonial Roofing stepped up to
the Habitat plate by donating employee
labor to help build Habitat roofs. In nine
months, the company donated $60,460.00
in roofing expertise. As of December
2007, Colonial Roofing employees have
shingled more than 35 Habitat roofs in
Lee County. “The roofing industry in this
area has provided a good living for Lee
County residents over the years and giving
back to the community that has supported
us is important. For us, donating roofs is
a direct result that we can see as we give,”
says Colonial Roofing President Glenn
Bailey. It is because of their generosity and diligence to continue building with Habitat that we have
named Colonial Roofing as Corporate Sponsor of the Year.
Individual Sponsor of the Year
Duane & Cookie Swanson
It wasn’t long after Habitat for Humanity of Lee County
moved into their North Fort Myers location before Duane &
Cookie Swanson became big supporters of the charity. Duane
offered Habitat a deep discount on property near the office
and thrift store locations. Today, Habitat’s Senior Housing
Complex rests on that land surrounded by a roadway
appropriately named Swanson Loop. Duane Swanson’s
company, Raymond Building Supply, supports Habitat
annually and the couple have become multiple year givers
to the organization. “We’ve had friends get involved with
Habitat and wanted to give as well. I think it’s a wonderful
cause and I’m thrilled to help. Everyone needs a safe place
to live and certainly these young families,” says Cookie. It’s
because of this couple’s support in money and land that
Habitat for Humanity is pleased to name the Swansons as our Individual Sponsor of the Year.
Page 14
17. Faithful Giver
Zoe Smith
85-year old Zoe Smith has long been a supporter of Habitat’s mission.
“Well, I suppose it was when they started building in Harlem Heights
that I first started giving to Habitat,” says Zoe. Her name means ‘life’
in Greek, a piece of heritage she’s proud of and hopes to extend to
others through Habitat. “I hope I can live up to my name by giving
life to others through these homes. I can only give a little, but I am my
brother’s keeper and regardless of what I have, it all comes from the
good Lord and there seems to always be enough to give,” says Smith.
Smith heard about Habitat’s work through Zion Lutheran Church.
Since then she has been giving five dollars a month to Habitat for well
over a decade. Over time, those donations have amounted to big money
for Habitat. “I have a small pension from social security that I get every
month as income and I write out my Habitat donation the first of every
month with all my bills,” says Zoe. It is because of Zoe’s pledge and continual support that Habitat
for Humanity of Lee County is pleased to name her the Faithful Giver award.
Donors
Faith-Based Sponsor of the Year
Iona Hope Episcopal Church
Iona Hope Episcopal Church started financially giving to Habitat for Humanity of Lee County in
1999. Four years later, the congregation picked up hammers and started sponsoring and building
homes. “We had a couple of members
attend the Habitat 101 class and caught
the vision of a hand-up instead of a hand-
out. They brought back the idea to the
church to get more Episcopal churches
involved,” says Debbie Prather, an Iona
Hope member. In 2006, four other
Episcopal churches in the area started
fundraising and building together with
Iona Hope. Independently, the Iona Hope
Episcopal Church has given $89,782.79
so far and continues to fundraise and
volunteer for the organization. In 2007,
the church raised their sixth home with
Habitat. This is why Habitat for Humanity of Lee County has named Iona Hope Episcopal Church
the Faith-Based Sponsor of the Year.

Publix Supermarket Charities
Publix Supermarket Charities started
contributing to Habitat for Humanity
of Lee County in 1996. Since then, the
organization has donated funds almost
every year totaling $349,000. In 2008, 28
stores in the Lee County area will lift the
walls on a Publix-sponsored home and
participate in the constructing of Habitat’s
homes. “We’re going to get six stores at
a time to supply workers who can work
on the home. We want to be a part of the
construction of the home we sponsored
from start to finish,” says David Waring, a
District Manager for Publix Supermarkets.
Because of their continued efforts in
supporting Lee County’s Habitat for Humanity of Lee County, we would like to present Publix
Supermarket Charities with the Sustaining Sponsor award.
Volunteer of the Year
Harold Elsesser
For almost 20 years, Harold Elsesser has spent at least four
days a week volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of
Lee County. In fact, he has turned his personal vehicle into
a work truck; carrying tools to and from the Habitat build
sites. Harold works alongside five others who pitch in on
the projects and have become close friends over the years.
His knowledge of the build process has been instrumental to
those learning and working around him. And as 83-year old
Harold Elsesser jumps from a scaffold or climbs up a ladder,
he continues to prove to the youth that ‘volunteering will
keep you young.’ It is difficult to calculate how many families
Harold has helped house over the years, but Habitat has
backtracked his peanut shells left at the job sites and at best
estimate it covers more than 525 homes. This is why Habitat
for Humanity of Lee County is proud to name Harold
Elsesser as our Volunteer of the Year.
