The 4 of them were briefly sticking with her sibling and her household in a small home when a friend told her about CHN’s Believe Mortgage. Danelle called the CHN team, who helped her prepare for and secure a mortgage. Danelle acquired her family’s very first home in 2023.

Today, she and her three kids live in a three-bedroom home in Cleveland’s Mount Pleasant community. Danelle is working to add personal touches to the home and convert the finished attic into an additional bedroom. Her kids now have a big backyard to run around in with their dogs. The family is enjoying the additional area they now have, and most importantly, the stability that comes from having a home to call their own.
