Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Warrick Dunn surprised three single mothers with fully furnished homes and down-payment assistance on Tuesday, Oct. 29, through Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside.
Each family will receive $5,000 in down-payment aid and $10,000 worth of furnishings, thanks to Warrick Dunn Charities and Aaron’s.
The effort, part of WDC’s “Homes for the Holidays” program, provides new Habitat homes that are fully furnished by Aaron’s, creating move-in-ready spaces. The event will bring WDC’s impact to 232 homes nationwide, including 61 in Tampa Bay.
Each family has a unique story:
Nisbel P., a patient access specialist at Tampa General Hospital, has three children, with one more on the way. Her home is sponsored by the Milkey Family Foundation.
Keyonda M., a VPK teacher at The Sprout Academy, has three children and has overcome substandard living conditions. Her home is also sponsored by the Milkey Family Foundation.
Miranda S., a sales professional at Solar Max, is excited that each of her three children will finally have their own room. Her home is sponsored by the Fishman Family Foundation.
