2020 Raising the Roof with Love - Online Edition!

Greetings all Raising the Roof with Love auction participants! Thank you for partnering with Habitat to help end generational poverty though homeownership!

Trips of a Lifetime - 2 of each!
We have added several new auction items for the final day of bidding, including a second trip to each Trips of a Lifetime destination that already has a bid or has been purchased! So if you bid on a trip, and were outbid, please consider snagging the same trip via the second listing, thereby allowing TWO bidders to both get their trip of a lifetime!

When the crisis ends, more families will be in need of safe, secure, and affordable homes than ever before. We respectfully invite you to also participate in a collective effort to raise $75,000 to help meet this rapidly growing need in Albuquerque by donating on the website. https://habitatabq.org/2020-raising-the-roof/.

Proxy Bidding and Extended Bidding
We encourage you to consider using the system's proxy bidding. This will allow you to not monitor your auction items at the last minute to ensure you are not outbid! Through proxy bidding you enter the maximum amount you wish to pay for the item. As other people bid on that item, the system will bid for you incrementally, up to your maximum amount, Your maximum bid amount will remain confidential unless you are outbid! The system is also set to automatically extend the bid on any item that receives a bid during the final 3 minutes of the auction. But if you set proxy bids, you won't have to be online at that exact time!

The fabulous auction items below, donated by Habitat supporters, will be available for bidding online until tonight, Saturday April 18, 8:00PM. We hope to provide you with some amazing gifts, as well as a welcome distraction from the world news!

It is true, this crisis disproportionately affects Habitat home owners. Many do not have paid sick leave, and if they lose hours at work or are temporarily laid-off, low-income families can rapidly find themselves in a critical financial situation. Habitat is committed to working with our homeowners to find a solution and eliminate the fear of foreclosure. Now more than ever, it is vital that we continue our work.
Thank you for participating.
Stay safe and healthy,
The Raising the Roof Team

Since our founding in 1987, Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity has built affordable housing in 9 communities throughout Albuquerque. Our mission is much bigger than building homes. We believe that everyone deserves a decent and affordable place to call home. We build community by providing low-income families the opportunity to purchase a home so they can find stability , build a safe and secure foundation, and build equity for their family’s future. Your bid supports these outcomes. Thank you.
