Wyoming Valley Habitat for Humanity would like to thank Kathleen Nestorick of Wilkes-Barre for generously donating a piece of property in Nanticoke for our next home build. Kathleen chose to donate the property as a way to honor her late husband, Walter “Waju” Nestorick, and give a low-income family the opportunity for a good home. Many thanks to Kathleen and the entire Nestorick family!
