Meet Sam Ansah, his wife, Esther, and their four babies, Sam Jr., Nora, Simon, and Naomi. Living in a small one-bedroom apartment in the Bronx, the Ansah family was not expecting to exponentially expand their family so soon, but before they knew what happened, this family of two quickly became a family of six!

Sam knew his one-bedroom would not be a healthy environment for his new family. After researching his options, Sam came across Habitat for Humanity NYC. After being told he was selected to become a Family Partner with Habitat NYC, Sam and his wife–natives of Ghana, West Africa–are finally living out their dream…The American Dream of Homeownership.

Here’s another picture… this one of the Big Nail’s owner, Ralph R. Roberts, who was in New York City for a real estate industry conference where attendees donated nearly $130,000 towards the construction of the Ansah’s new home.
