Homeownership

PAID FOR WITH THE SWEAT OF HIS BROW

Micheal Embaye

The beginning of May 2008 saw LHFH's second homeowner Michael Embaye move into his home. Michael & his partner Nadine were given the keys to the property on 2nd May 2008. Michael, 35 who came to Liverpool from Eritrea at the age of 12 said: " I had never even hammered in a nail before I came here; I can't quite believe the three-story property is mine. I've put up plasterboard, tiled the roof & fitted insulation, everything apart from plastering & plumbing - that's done by the professionals".
