The Reddy family received the keys to their brand-new three-bedroom home yesterday, marking the fulfillment of a dream that has spanned generations. The home will provide a safe and secure space for single mother Lisa Reddy, her four sons aged 2, 7, 11, and 13, and her 63-year-old mother, Daisy Reddy, who is deaf and mute.
Valued at $15.3 million, the home includes the cost of the land, construction, furnishings, and essential amenities. Alongside the house, the family will receive a $500,000 grant to establish a poultry farm, creating a sustainable income source to support the family’s needs and the educational aspirations of Lisa’s young boys.
This achievement carries deep emotional significance for the Reddy family. While the home represents a tangible step toward a brighter future, it also honors the memory of Lisa’s grandmother, Lucille, a pillar of strength and hope who sadly passed away in September before seeing the project completed. Her unwavering belief in a better future continues to inspire the family as they embark on this new chapter.
The resilience and determination of women like Lisa Reddy shine as a beacon of hope for their communities. Her courage and dedication to her family have left an indelible mark, inspiring all involved in making this dream a reality. Gratitude was expressed to the partners and supporters of this initiative for helping bring this life-changing project to fruition.
This marks the third house handed over through the Office of the First Lady in as many years. In 2022, a $12.2 million home was provided to six siblings, and in 2023, a $13.6 million house was given to a family of four whose sole breadwinner was battling prostate cancer. These initiatives continue to transform lives, fostering a legacy of compassion and progress for families in need.
For the Reddy family, their new home symbolizes not just shelter, but hope, opportunity, and a fresh start. Today’s milestone is a reminder of the power of community and the profound impact that generosity and care can have on the lives of others.
