THOMASTON — Rachel and Ian opened their house to the local community Friday, Sept. 11. The profoundness of this statement — their house — is significant in many ways for the newest recipients of a Midcoast Habitat for Humanity home.

Rachel, a single mother of 10-year-old Ian, has been partnering with Habitat for four years now. As a volunteer with the Women Build program, she has helped with four or five prior houses, joining the effort to put other families into other Habitat homes.

Now that effort to help others has come full circle thanks to individual and corporate sponsorships and a woman from Pennsylvania who made a simple call to Habitat for Humanity.

The woman, Sally Wood, called Midcoast Habitat, stating that she had a house destined to be demolished. Would Habitat like it?

“I thought, well, we have a lot. It’s full of trees. It was rather swampy, and... ‘Well sure,’” said Tia Anderson, executive director of Midcoast Habitat for Humanity.

According to Anderson, the Habitat board of directors is open to out-of-the-box thinking, “and making opportunities into reality.”

In one day, Schiavi Homes moved the two-part modular home to its new location on Deer Run Road, the same road as three other Habitat homes. The solid foundation awaiting the modular took six weeks to construct.

The Dickey family trust of Camden donated funds. Camden National set up the mortgage.

David Ober and Ober and Barrett Builders “came in on the fly and cleared the land and dug the hole in minutes, I swear,” Anderson told the attendees of the house-dedication ceremony.

Anderson thanked the long list of sponsors that made this home a reality. The list included the Town of Thomaston, Lowes, Horch Roofing, Viking Lumber, and Girl Scout Troop 77099 from Southborough, MA.

Habitat for Humanity International began in Americus, GA, according to the Habitat website. Between its inception in 1976 and 2014, the organization has ”helped build, renovate and repair more than 600,000 decent, affordable houses sheltering more than three million people worldwide.”

The Midcoast branch has put families into more than 26 houses, according to a website.

Volunteers are currently working on a house on Brewster Street in Rockland.
