On his application to Habitat-NYC, Sam Ansah penned a desperate note: "I just had quadruplets a month ago, and I occupy a one-bedroom apartment!"

Overnight, Sam and Esther Ansah's family exploded from two members to six. Neither their home nor Sam's salary could expand enough to shelter this suddenly increased household.

With help from Habitat-NYC's many generous supporters and volunteers, Sam and Esther and their active quadruplets have achieved their dream: building and owning a home of their own.

In 2006, they moved into this simple, decent and energy-efficient home in the Bronx.

Sam, Esther, Sam Jr., Simon, Naomi and Nora welcome you into their home to see how Habitat-NYC has changed their lives.

A special thanks to Sam, Esther, Sam Jr., Simon, Naomi and Nora Ansah, and everyone who helped them achieve their goal of home ownership.
