From Adero Burbridge, New Homeowner, Charlotte, North
Carolina:
“ The partnership between Tile Partners for Humanity and
Habitat for Humanity has truly been a blessing to me
and my family. Not only is the tile decorative but also
durable which I need with two growing boys! This partnership
not only enabled me to get tile but also future Habitat
Homeowners. I love the fact that out of my blessing came
blessings for others.”

TPFH participated in a Habitat for Humanity
Charlotte build in June 2003. Crossville Tile and Stone
in Charlotte donated 300 square feet of tile and all
of the tile installation materials for the home. Paul
Wilson, the Tile Doctor and Assistant Director of the
CTIOA, worked with homeowner Adero Burbridge and other
local volunteers to tile the home. NATTCO donated tile
installation tools used in the project. DIY-Do It Yourself
Network taped the entire building process of the home
for a new five-part workshop to premiere on the network
this fall titled, Lending a Hand: Habitat for Humanity.
Tile installation is part of the five-episode program,
which aired in September 2003 on the DIY Network. The
program is part of a national public affairs partnership
between DIY and Habitat for Humanity International.
