Personal Profiles: Multi-talented Mom
“Honor thy father and mother,’ took on truer meaning once I became a parent and realized what a challenging and fulfilling role it is,” notes Stacey Dondey.

In today’s edition of Personal Profiles, Home Page’s Stacey Dondey looks back on her story thus far with a grateful heart to her parents for the love, support and guidance they provided.

“My mother is extremely capable and was always there cheering me on, making me feel I could do anything.” Linda Buzay encouraged Stacey at a young age to pursue her interests whether it was modeling, musical theater, attending weekend classes at the Art Institute of Chicago, traveling alone to Italy for study abroad, completing a BS degree in Apparel Design from Purdue University or starting a business.

Not only will students be receiving hands-on experience in trade but they will also be receiving OSHA 10 safety certifications. ThIs provides them “an opportunity to succeed right out of the gate- give them a head start,” says Mr. Seeling. This is a two and half year project that features a three bedroom, two bathroom home which will be sold. The profits of this sale hope to be put toward the next home building project.
