Hancock Claims Builds Habitat Home in Woodstock

On Saturday, Hancock Claims Consultants and Rockin' Taco celebrated the completion of the Habitat home the two companies sponsored for the Cung-Sin family. It was their first full house sponsorship with Habitat North Central Georgia that culminated in a very emotional dedication ceremony for all who attended. The home is located on Reece Road and was the second to be completed in the last two weeks on this street in Woodstock.

After composing herself several times to control her emotions and fight back tears, Sui Sin offered the following words: "On behalf of my family, I will say a little word of thanks. First and foremost, I thank God, who blessed my family: bringing us to the USA, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, from Burma, one of the poorest countries in the world. I would like to say my heartfelt thanks to Habitat and all the members of Hancock for your love, your kindness, and your help. Our family is praising God for He will bless us with this beautiful house through you and your ministry. We will pray for all of you. Thank you so much.”

On this home, Habitat partnered with Za Biak Cung and his wife, Sui Sin. The couple experienced a long and arduous journey from poverty and religious persecution in their native Burma, to a refugee camp in Malaysia, to a rundown apartment in Clarkston, to the sanctuary of their new abode in Woodstock. The family immigrated to the United States in 2014 with assistance from the United Nations Refugee program. Mr. Cung has been working at Tyson for the last three years. Mrs. Sin is a stay at home mother who cares for their two young children, Jonathan (3) and Esther (1).
