Family finds stability as Habitat completes seventh street house
Hortensia Alcantara and her four children moved from a trailer to a completed home on Seventh Street, a Habitat for Humanity project funded largely by grants and donations. Volunteers built carpentry, concrete, and wiring, with the family contributing essential items and ongoing labor. The home, near Kenneth Henderson Middle School, offers more space and warmth, and the group plans more houses as mortgage-funded builds continue.

Michigan infant faces multiple heart surgery options
The Blunt family of Garden City, Michigan, seeks treatment for infant Megan with suspected infection and respiratory distress. After a flight to Wisconsin and several days of evaluation, doctors present three paths: heart transplant, three surgeries, or unplugging the machine. They choose the three-surgery plan while facing no insurance and a medical fund at Southwest Bank to cover costs. The family plans a two to eight week stay near Ann Arbor’s Ronald McDonald House post surgery.
