Family story

## Meet the Grimmage Family

Crystal Grimmage is a Planning Technician with the City of St. Pete Planning and Zoning Department and a proud single mom raising her three sons: Ayden, Ziggy, and Lon. She describes her family as loving, faith-based, and rooted in determination and hard work.

After years of rising rent and searching for a safe, stable place to call home, the Grimmage family is now building something lasting through Habitat. Ayden is beginning college, Ziggy plans to become a dental hygienist, and Lon dreams of becoming a police officer.

"This is the beginning of a new standard for my family: homeownership."
