DEBARY, FL – A longtime dream will be realized August 22 when a local family is feted with a parade, flag ceremony and speeches before accepting the keys to their new house built by Dream Finders Homes, a preferred builder at Debary’s Rivington community.

The event – in honor of retired USAF Staff Sergeant Matthew Cable, his wife Ensley, and son Cade – will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a parade from the Rivington entrance off of Barwick led by the color guard from DeBary Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8093, a flag ceremony and a speech by DeBary Mayor Karen Chasez. State and local government officials will also be on hand to welcome the veteran and his family.

To make the gifting of the home possible, Jacksonville-based Dream Finders Homes teamed up with developer Reader Communities and its joint venture partner Dallas-based Hillwood Communities to provide the homesite and build a mortgage-free home.

The team partnered with Building Homes for Heroes (BHFH), a national non-profit organization dedicated to helping provide homes and supportive services for injured veterans and first responders.

The house, Dream Finders Homes’ Anna Maria model with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, is located within the master planned community off Fort Florida Road, west of U.S. 17-92 along the St. Johns River.

According to Dream Finders Homes’ Orlando Division President Gerry Boeneman, the 2,853 square-foot home is valued at nearly $475,000.

“Since we began this project, Dream Finders Homes has been committed to it, as are our trade partners and subcontractors who joined in by donating both materials and hours,” he said. “We all are grateful for SSgt. Cable’s sacrifice to our country.” 

SSgt Cable served for 10 years before being medically discharged in June 2022. Since developing leukemia from exposure to chemicals in the Middle East, he has been in his second remission for 3-1/2 years.
