Alvaro and Mariana moved to the United States from Mexico ten years ago in search of a better future for their family. After learning about Habitat for Humanity and its mission, they applied for the program hoping to achieve the dream of homeownership.

Alvaro works in landscaping and has been with Bridgewater for the past six years. Mariana works full-time as a machine operator at NTK. Together, they are hardworking parents dedicated to providing the best possible life for their six children: Janet (16), Nicole (12), Santiago (9), Alexa (7), Mariana (6), and Dylan (2).

As they prepare for homeownership, they are most excited about giving their children a place of their own with more space, privacy, and stability. They look forward to creating a home where their children can learn, grow, and make lasting memories together.

Family is at the center of everything they do. Whether cheering on their children at sporting events, spending time outdoors, or exploring nature, Alvaro and Mariana cherish every opportunity to be together and are excited for this next chapter in their lives.
