For Muhammad and Iqra, every decision they make comes back to one thing: building a better future for their children. Zaviyar (6) and Zarnish (3) are growing up fast, and their parents want to give them more than just a house—they want to give them stability, community, and a place to truly call home. 

These parents have worked tirelessly to build a better life for their kids. Muhammad juggles full-time work with completing a diploma in Supply Chain Management, while Iqra balances part-time work as a healthcare aide with finishing her studies to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. 

Through it all, their goal has remained the same: to give their children the stability they never had growing up.
