Caption 1:
I’m joining Habitat Lake-Sumter’s Women Build to help construct a triplex that will soon be home to THREE incredible families.
I’m raising $X to support our build, and I’d be so grateful if you’d help me make a little construction magic happen!
Let’s show the world what women can build—together. Please cheer me on and donate to my fundraising page: (LINK TO FUNDRAISING PAGE)
Caption 2:
I’m so excited to be part of Habitat’s Women Build this year!
My team and I will be rolling up our sleeves to help build a triplex that will become home for three amazing families. That’s triple the impact, and I couldn’t be more pumped!
I’m working to raise $X to support our build —and I’d love your help making it happen! Every dollar brings us closer to seeing three families start their next chapter.

Caption 3:
I’m joining Habitat’s Women Build because strong women build strong communities—and I need your help to make it happen!
I’m raising $X to support our triplex build, and yes, that means we’re turning dollars into drywall and donations into doorways.
