Tannique's hard work pays off! | |
|
Tannique—a call center leader, military reservist, and cybersecurity student—is about to achieve her lifelong goal of homeownership! Thanks to PCL Construction and Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s Builders Blitz 2025, she will soon have a stable, affordable place to call home.
Her journey has been one of resilience and determination—from being the first in her family to graduate college to overcoming homelessness.
Now, she looks forward to providing a stable future for her toddler son and mother.
“Today, I stand proud—not only for what I’ve achieved but for the legacy of determination and courage I continue to build for my family.”
