Meet Ryan Lehman, a dedicated single father of 7 year old twins, and a proud member of the Helena community. Ryan’s journey is a testament to resilience and hope, embodying the spirit of dedication and the power of community.
Since moving to Montana in 2015, Ryan has made a profound impact as a program coordinator and peer support specialist at the John Scott Hannon House. With nearly 5 years of sobriety and a passion for helping others, Ryan’s commitment to his work and his recovery is truly inspiring.
His dream of homeownership through Habitat for Humanity has been a beacon of hope. From the roller coaster of emotions in the application process to the excitement of building a home with his own hands, Ryan’s story is one of perseverance and community spirit.
As he prepares to build his future home alongside his neighbors, Ryan is eager to create lasting bonds and give his children the stability of a place to call their own.
Ryan’s journey highlights the incredible support from Habitat for Humanity and the hard work behind each home built. Despite misconceptions, Ryan and his future neighbors are dedicating up to 18 months of their lives to build not just houses, but a vibrant, supportive community.
Here’s to Ryan and Team Lehman – for their dedication, their strength, and their belief in the power of home and community.
