The Orlando Magic and Habitat for Humanity joined together to give a family a home as part of NBA Cares Week of Service.
On Thursday, Oct. 23, David and Matilda Duppins along with their four children were handed the keys to a brand new home.
“It’s very exhilarating,” Reverend David said. “We feel so blessed and so reassured that our children have a safe place to live and it’s so peaceful.”
This is the sixth time the Magic and Habitat for Humanity have partnered to present a home to a deserving Central Florida family. The goal is to help transform the lives of low-income and hard-working families.
In addition to members of Habitat for Humanity and other volunteers from various organizations, Magic Community Ambassadors Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw, Magic Dancers and STUFF participated in the ceremony. They even all helped assemble a basketball hoop that will stand in the family’s driveway.
