BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Two single mothers in Georgia now have a home for the first time with the help of Habitat for Humanity and former Catholic High football star Warrick Dunn.
Dunn, who is the founder of Warrick Dunn Charities, was there when Beverly and Tawanda arrived at their new homes. They each received a $5,000 down payment assistance check and $10,000 worth of home furnishings from Aaron's.
Beverly, who is a divorced single mom to her 6-year-old son, supports her family through her career as an accounts receivable lead for a home services provider, according to a news release.
She "views her new Habitat home as a fresh start for the family and a chance to leave a legacy for her son," according to a news release.

Warrick Dunn Charities has now taken part in 234 home celebrations.
