With no construction experience and limited resources, she resolved to build a home on her own, using online tutorials and sheer determination. In 2007, she bought a one-acre plot for $20,000 and secured a $150,000 loan to start construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mother of five and a computer programmer, Cara involved her children, ages 2 to 17, in the process. Her son Drew helped with the plans, while 11-year-old Jada hauled water to mix concrete for the foundation. They worked together after school, and for more complicated tasks, she hired a firefighter with construction experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superduperior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/collage-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19353\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By March 2009, their 3,500-square-foot home, named Inkwell Manor, was complete. Though Cara initially didn\u2019t see the project as a source of pride, she later recognized the immense personal growth it brought. Her story is a testament to the power of determination, small steps toward big goals, and finding strength in the support of others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her husband used to beat her frequently, so she took her children and ran away from home Cara Brookins made the brave decision to leave her abusive&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24612"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24612"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45161,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24612\/revisions\/45161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
