A home for the Holidays: Marine Veteran surprised with mortgage-free house in Waller

Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Cassandra “Cassie” Pierre has endured more hardship than most experience in a lifetime - a childhood spent in instability, service-connected PTSD, a divorce, a devastating house fire, and years of starting over. Now, just in time for the holidays, the Waller community and PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program have come together to give this deserving Marine veteran and single mother of three a mortgage-free home through Operation Homefront’s Permanent Homes for Veterans program. Houston Life’s Melanie Camp takes you inside the emotional moment Cassie receives her keys, followed by a tour of her beautifully decorated new home - complete with personalized bedrooms for each of her children. This life-changing gift gives Cassie and her family the stability she never had growing up and a fresh start in the Centex Stokesbury community. Watch the ceremony, the surprise, and the heartwarming reveal in this unforgettable Houston Life story.
