Amy Aalderink is a divorced mom raising four boys: Travis (9), Brandon (7), Dylan (5) and Logan (3). They currently live in a two bedroom apartment and are anxious to have more room to grow and play. Amy is employed by the Butler Restaurant in Saugatuck. She also attends classes through Grand Rapids Junior Community College and is hoping to eventually obtain a Nursing Degree. Her three oldest boys attend Quincy Avenue Elementary and Logan has fun at the Early Childhood Center in Zeeland. All the boys enjoy participating in various sports including swimming, baseball, and soccer.

Currently Amy is working to complete 250 hours of sweat equity. She does a wonderful job working at the front desk of the Habitat for Humanity office every Thursday after-noon. She has also helped build houses for other Homeowner Partners.

Amy describes herself as "A single mom with four children, striving to make a better life for myself and my kids." Owning a Habitat house truly is a dream come true for Amy and the boys. She explains that words "can't describe what it means to me and my boys…prayers have been answered." Not only is Amy committed to doing whatever it takes to make this dream come true, she is also interested in learning more about Habitat and being able to help provide the same opportunity to future Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity Homeowner Partners.
