LionDesk Teams Up With Better Homes and Garden Real Estate To Support New Story Charity In Fighting Global Homelessness


San Diego, CA, Aug. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAN DIEGO – June 26th -- LionDesk, the best in class platform for sales professionals, announced today that it has partnered with Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, to support New Story, a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in their effort to build homes and a sustainable community for the people of Ahuachapán, El Salvador.

“When you think about home ownership it isn’t just about the house, it is also about the lifestyle and the families who are receiving an opportunity to thrive,” said Sherry Chris, President and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. “By building these houses, we are giving the people of Ahuachapán access to safe homes to improve their health, increase educational opportunities, and help secure a brighter future for generations to come. We are so excited to have LionDesk join us in this mission and know their fundraising support will have a significant impact on the people of Ahuachapán.”

According to President and Founder, David Anderson, LionDesk knew they had to get involved the moment they heard about New Story’s mission. “I was so moved after hearing Sherry talk about her involvement with New Story and how the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network was transforming lives through their fundraising efforts. At LionDesk, we know that our clients are helping people become homeowners every day, but I think we take this for granted. We not only have the opportunity to become homeowners but on a more basic level, we have a safe place to go to bed at night. I know that a lot of people don’t have even that which is why when Sherry approached us about getting involved, I immediately said yes. We are proud and excited to be involved with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and New Story in this fight against homelessness.”

LionDesk and the LionDesk Community have pledged to donate 15% of all new subscriptions to the New Story Fund with the goal of raising enough money to build at least two houses. Because New Story is a Pay-it-Forward model, families pay back the cost of their homes with affordable monthly payments at 0% interest. This money is then used to exclusively fund the building of additional homes within the community. This process helps foster re-investment within the local community and helps new families become homeowners in the process.
