The Souza Family in front of their new home, Pawtucket, RI,

The Souzas had been looking for a home for more than two years, but nothing available was financially within their reach. The family worked with PCFD and other partners to improve their credit score and gather all the paperwork. When they finally were told that they were approved, the parents wanted to surprise their two kids – one in middle school, the other a high school junior. The family had been looking for a house for so long—and they had been disappointed so many times in the process—the parents knew the kids wouldn’t believe it until they saw it. This photo was taken at the ribbon cutting when they found out that the house would now be their new home.
