Hello, My name is Miranda. My fiance and I just took over the payments on his brothers house and I am in a wheelchair so I could not view the inside of the house myself so went into this deal on blind faith. His brother promised us that he would build me a wheelchair ramp and fix all the problems with the house and leave us with a running vehicle. He has followed through on none of his promises and now I am stuck in a house I can't get out of with no way to get to town to go to my medical appointments or shopping. The toilet in the main bathroom is falling through the floor as well as the kitchen sink, which also has no running water. We have no water heater for hot water and no gas connection to heat the water. The guest baths toilet has a clog in the pipe and there are no doors on the rooms and some of the doors are not wide enough for my wheelchair to get through. We have to flush the toilets with water in a bucket, heat water on the stove for doing dishes and bathing and nothing is handicap accessible for me. There are 4 vehicles on the property and none of them run. The brother promised us to get the pickup running for transportation but it is just sitting in the front yard. My fiance is not able to fix anything as he does not know how. I am at a loss as to what to do. Everyone I have turned to cannot help us. Can you please help us? I love your show. I am miserable here but am stuck. Thank you. Miranda Malone

A few years later his youngest Kim had her first kid a 15 her 2nd at 17 and her 3rd at 20 a week later she pasted away from pneumonia and me and my husband Ronald took care of all the kids, Matt, Madison, and Mekaela. Matt the oldest has a very small room.. Madison and Mekaela have to share a room that's like a 17 by 11 foot. Our roof is leaking and making our ceiling mess up and our floor is all cracked we have so much wrong and can't fix it all. With all these problems we had termites and our scared they are going to come back… WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Hello! I am an avid watcher of your show and I always thought how nice it would be for my family to be able to have a better home to call our own. I am married and we have 5 children, ages 14, 12, 5, 5, and 1. We live in a single wide mobile home (14 x 70) that was manufactured in 1990. We originally had 3 bedrooms but converted our extra bathroom into a small bedroom for my step daughter. Our 1 year old shares a room with my husband and I and our 12 and 5 year old boys share a room also. Our home is in need of many repairs, not only with the walls, but with the plumbing, sewage, and ceiling where moisture seeps in. We also have excessive mold grow under our trailer from our plumbing problems and in certain areas of our home so allergies and colds, even bronchitis and pneumonia are common in our home. Our home is extremely drafty so it is hard to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. My husband is the only one that works at this time. We decided that I needed to quit my job to stay home with the children since daycare is so expensive. We cannot afford to fix the issues our trailer has or to be able to build on anytime soon. Everytime we get a little extra money, it goes toward medical bills, repairs for vehicles, or for another vehicle. If you would be willing to help us, it would be such a blessing to our family. Thank you so much and blessings to you all. Bless you for the help you have done to change others lives by giving them peace of mind with their new homes.

My name is Tracy I am a single mom and have been for 5 years. I feel I do a good job raising my children. We had to move from Ohio to Michigan to take care of my grandparents. My grandpa passed away in Sept. I have to work to help pay the bills and my grandmother is confined to a wheelchair. I have very caring children that will even change diapers while I am at work. We have a 3 bedroom house and a full basement that is not finished. My grandma has a bed in the living room and my 6 children share rooms. My sons share a room with me. We built a ramp in the garage to get my grandma in and out of the house but I would like to have it easier for her to get around the house and would like my children to have their own space so they are more comfortable with the move and feel like they have something for all they do to help. Please help us. Thank you very much. Tracy
My name is Linda Wade, I am a artist and in charge of the student art council division in a small town. I give classes to children in my community, majority are African American. I want to teach art classes, both Visual and Performing Arts. There is a small house/building that serves as a community center. It struggles to stay open because of utilities funds and playground conditions. It is located in the low income street. I am seriously asking for help. A good make over and awareness of the center would help the children. I believe it will help the morale of the people and give the Children a foundation of the Arts and a sense of pride.Please consider the Broad Community Center a candidate for an extreme make over.

Hello my name is Audrey and I am speaking on behalf of my Mom, Dad, sister and great nephew. They live in a home that is very dangerous. It rains in the house as though they are outside and the electrical wiring is in the way when it is raining. The walls are caving in and when walking on the wood floor upstairs one better be careful not to fall through. And rodents are trying to make their way through little by little. My Mom had heart surgery but years previously before the heart surgery she was in a head-on collision and broke both of her legs and the driver that was driving got killed. So her climbing the stairs is difficult. And dad had heart surgery and my sister has been the caregiver of both of them along my great nephew which is seven years of age. My sister has given up her life to serve them wholeheartedly. She does not do anything nor go anywhere. I have to make her go out and get some fresh air. I see the stress upon her but she keeps plugging away. The stress level is high and I pray every second of the day that a breakthrough will come through for them. My mother and dad have worked hard only to end up in a situation as such. We do not believe in putting family members in a home so we take good care of them ourselves. I cry everyday and wish there was something special that I could do for them because they have helped so many people. And have raised us with dignity and integrity. I could not ask for more. I cannot rest because of their condition and situation. If they are okay then I am okay. They live in a three story house with four bedrooms in Pennsylvania. If I could rebuild their home and put them somewhere safe while doing it, I would without a second thought because they deserve it to the fullest. They deserve safety. Life has a way of turning you upside down sometimes, and at times one does not know if they will ever come out of it. This is why I have contacted Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with my story.
P.S.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Sincerely,
Audrey Lewis
