Habitat Success Stories

Duhe Family

Lauren Duhé was raised in Gramercy, LA and has spent her life living in New Orleans and enjoying all the music, art, and oaks surrounding her.  A graduate of NOCCA and Dominican, she is a mother of two boys who love to climb, laugh, and explore their beautiful city.

Lauren is a licensed massage therapist and has spent the past thirteen years passionately dedicated to building her knowledge and skills. She thrives in her practice at a locally-owned spa in the French Quarter.

Lauren and her boys are grateful for all the love and encouragement that is building their new home. A partnership with Habitat for Humanity means that Lauren can continue to excel in a career she loves while providing her family with a stable home, and her kids can continue to thrive in their arts-based curriculum Orleans Parish school. They are looking forward to living in a truly New Orleans neighborhood, planting trees, growing food, playing ball in the yard, and enjoying sunsets on their purple porch.
