“My house will always be a safe place for many years to come.”
Alyson Seitz is a devoted mother of four and proud grandmother who has spent 20 years working in the banking industry. She currently works as a Fraud Settlements Specialist at Velera, where she has been for five years. Her sons, Peyton, 19, and Myles, 13, each have their own passions. Peyton is studying at Pasco-Hernando State College with hopes of becoming a traveling nurse and enjoys sports, especially Ohio State football. Myles loves reading, anime, and playing piano and guitar, even performing in a band with friends.
Two years ago, Hurricane Helene caused devastating flooding in Pasco County, forcing Alyson and her family to unexpectedly leave the home they had lived in for seven years. They lost their transportation, many belongings, and cherished memories. Since then, finding a safe, secure, and affordable place to call home has become an important part of rebuilding their lives.
When Alyson learned she had been accepted into the Habitat for Humanity Homeownership Program, she was overwhelmed with shock and gratitude. She immediately thought, “Home sweet home, here we come!” This opportunity represents a fresh start and the chance to rebuild her family’s security.
Alyson looks forward to gathering with family, cooking together, enjoying movie nights, and making new memories in a home of their own. For her, homeownership means leaving the hardships of the past behind and creating a safe place where her family can thrive for years to come.
