Team members from\u00a0Acceptance Insurance<\/u><\/a>\u00a0(OTCQX: FACO), a leading personal insurance provider headquartered in Nashville, gathered on Sunday to help dedicate a colleague\u2019s successful journey to first-time homeownership through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville.<\/p>\n

LaToya is the second Acceptance team member to obtain a home with Habitat for Humanity, having been inspired by a colleague\u2019s own path to homeownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to work on (co-worker) Demetrice Sneed\u2019s house when it was being built, and that\u2019s when I decided that I would do whatever it takes to own my own home,\u201d remembered Bell. \u201cI can\u2019t even describe how special this moment is for me and what it meant to have the support of friends I work with through this experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

LaToya\u2019s reasons for pursuing homeownership included a safer, quieter living environment and to fulfill another lifelong ambition from her childhood\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/i>fish tank ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since I was little, I wanted an aquarium filled with beautiful goldfish,\u201d laughed Bell. \u201cBut most rental homes don\u2019t allow you to have one, so I never did.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n

In June, Acceptance Insurance sponsored a Habitat for Humanity build day in honor of their colleague. More than 30 team members donated their Volunteer Time Off hours to install cabinets and siding on several houses in the Village by the Creek community, including LaToya\u2019s future home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of LaToya and all she\u2019s done to earn the keys to her new home,\u201d said Burley Nelson, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Acceptance Insurance. \u201cHer determination is inspiring, and I\u2019m grateful to everyone on her team who volunteered their time and effort to help her dream become a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the dedication event came to an end, LaToya\u2019s colleagues surprised her with a special gift: a starter aquarium and gift card so she can purchase the perfect fish for her new home.<\/p>\n
