We are honored to be just one part of the incredible differences President Carter made in the world.

Because of their devotion, President and Mrs. Carter were named as our inaugural Habitat Humanitarians, the highest honor given to champions of our mission.

Unfortunately it took his dying for me to understand the GREAT impact this Saint of a man had on the entire world. If it weren't for him as President, I would never have been able to afford to attend college. I am grateful for the Habitat volunteer event that I was able to attend. Hopefully his legacy will change ALL of us as we strive for sainthood! He was a saint on earth and now in heaven!

I have always admired Jimmy Carter and frequently wondered how much better off the United States would have been if he had been elected to a second term. His life lead with honor, dignity, truth and empathy is a great example for all Americans.

President Carter was before, during, and after his presidency a shining example of what honest and sincere caring for others means. I am thankful to be able to remember that people like him can exist and strive to follow his example as our nation sits on the verge of being run by selfishness and dishonesty. May President Carter rest peacefully, he exceeded all expectations of true leadership.

President Carter was the first President I voted for in 1976. He could have been the best two term President for mankind. He was truly for the people and I mean all people. He wanted equity for all not some. I was truly saddened by his passing, but happy he transitioned with the Lord. He was truly a good person.

“President Carter was a treasured friend and inspiring role model who showed the world how to put faith into action. It was one of the great privileges of my life to spend time serving with him. He was a true and tireless champion of affordable housing, social justice and human rights, and while our hearts are heavy, we are grateful for the lasting impact and legacy of service he leaves behind.”

Jimmy Carter inspired my father, Ace Cain, to get involved with San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. Carter's remarkable funeral service inspired me to go to the this website - where I found your tribute to Carter and realized this organization is the perfect place for me to support relief efforts for victims of the Eaton Fire. Thank you.

In my first election in 1976, I was really ready for some change in the direction of the country after years of the Vietnam war and Johnson and Nixon. Jimmy Carter provided that hope so I voted for him.

Jimmy Carter truly a mountain of a man; true to his word. If everyone would follow his example, there could be peace and prosperity for everyone in the world. My favorite Democratic President.

Over the years Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter sent me some lovely Christmas cards with Jimmy's wonderful art on them. I have a Christmas card with Jimmy's self portrait on it and another card where he painted some beautiful red and yellow birds sitting on the branches of a tree. I think the birds are finches. Many, many years ago I went to a book signing where Jimmy was present and signed the books we purchased at that event. Jimmy was behind a plexiglass window for his safety. He looked very busy signing all the books. I just love Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. In my heart he is one of the very best Presidents we have ever known. Jimmy and Rosalynn have a beautiful family. What a lovely place Jimmy and Rosalynn have been laid to rest.
