In March of 2007, Greene Habitat officially dedicated its second home for the Abshire family. This home was primarily built through the efforts of the Charlottesville affiliate who had many representatives present. Despite the frigid temperatures, the event was warm and welcoming and marked the end of a long journey for Wendy and her family.
