Mary and Stephen Khauka and their children, Davis, Denis, Sarah, Rachel, and Eric are the homeowners for the house on Hoffman Street, Newark. The house was damaged by a fire last spring. Debbie Van Auken and her family donated the house to Habitat to renovate. It is located on Hoffman Street. She got the idea from the Oprah Winfrey TV show.
