Building a Foundation for a Johns Island Native

Johns Island raised Maria. Now, our community is coming together to build her first home - the first home of Sweetgrass Preserve.

As a lifelong resident and local early childhood teacher, Maria’s roots here run deep. But this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home at Sweetgrass Preserve is about more than just her own four walls, it is a promise of safety and dignity for her elderly grandmother.

We have the blueprints and the land, but we need your help to supply the building materials. By joining a Building Circle today, your gift directly provides the lumber, windows, and roofing needed to turn this plot of land into a permanent home for Maria and her grandmother.
