To help raise the $240,000 needed to complete the 100 Homes Campaign, the family of Barbara and Paul Kiebler has made a remarkable gift to Lake-Geauga Habitat for Humanity by donating their parents’ timeshare condo in the Grand Cayman Islands. The property, located at the beautiful Morritt’s Tortuga Club, will be auctioned off with proceeds directly supporting Habitat’s mission to build safe, affordable housing for local families.

The silent auction opened on October 9 and closes December 15, with a starting bid of $1,500. The winning bidder will become the proud new owner of this tropical retreat—while also helping build brighter futures for families in Lake and Geauga counties.

Barbara and Paul Kiebler were lifelong community champions known for their generosity, service, and commitment to helping others.

Barbara, a lifelong Chardon resident, led Geauga County fundraising efforts for both the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society, and volunteered for nearly a decade at the Lake-Geauga Habitat ReStore. She was known for her vibrant energy, compassion, and dedication to making a difference.

Paul, a respected real estate appraiser and developer, helped provide homes for more than 100 families through six major subdivisions in Geauga County. A U.S. Army veteran, Chardon Village council member, and co-chair of the Geauga County American Heart Association, Paul’s warmth, integrity, and community spirit left a lasting legacy.

“We’re deeply grateful to the Kiebler family for this extraordinary gift in memory of their parents,” said Chad Collins, executive director of Lake-Geauga Habitat for Humanity. “Barbara and Paul’s lives reflected a deep commitment to building community and giving back. Through this auction, their legacy will continue to open doors for families in need of safe, affordable housing.”

The Kiebler family’s generous donation ensures their parents’ cherished getaway will bring joy to its new owner—and empower another family to achieve the dream of homeownership right here in Lake and Geauga counties.
