ATLANTA — A single mother of two became a homeowner Tuesday thanks to Atlanta Habitat for Humanity and Warwick Dunn Charities.
Nique was greeted at her new home by Atlanta Falcons legend Warrick Dunn in the driveway, who delivered a big surprise - $10,000 worth of furnishings from Aaron’s and a $5,000 down payment assistance check.
While the new home was financed through Habitat for Humanity, Aaron’s provided home furnishings, turning an empty shell into a ready-to-move-in home.
