  2. Hi my name is Summer and I am in desperate need of a home makeover I don't have the money to do it by myself and I'm in desperate need of it thank you summer Sisk

  3. My twin sister and I have recently had my mother and our four younger siblings move in with us from across country. I am a young single mother (21) to a six year old. So it is now the 8 of us living in our home. It is rough while being in school and working full time to provide for everyone. Our home needs to be renovated to fit everyone in the home.

  4. I'm 18 this year. My family has been going through financial problems since I was young. People look down on us. Our walls are leaking & pipes are rusting. My parents try making an effort to have our family drink filtered water because our pipes are rusting out. Burdened with bills that won't stop compiling, medical supplement bills & my previous medical bills from several operations. Desperate to fix our broken home & leakages that has been making the bill high. My brother has left to Thailand to find more money. I'd really appreciate.

  5. Hello my name is laura Galvan , I would love for my mom to be able to get help with her house she's an elder woman but she still works and its getting hard for her to fix things In the house she doesn't have a stove to cook and it gets cold in the winter time and small space heaters don't really help the bathroom using in too conditions either she has lived In The house basically her whole life and its just getting worse and I know it would absolutely be great if she could get some help 🙂

  6. I would love to have my 81 year old mothers home made over. My mom has been taking in foster children for almost 40 years but now due to her declining health she is on her last child. She is starting to lose her vision so caring for little ones will be very difficult. She has also gotten 4 stints in her heart making it very difficult to travel to see her 7 children and their children, most of whom live in different states. Most of us help her out financially but it is difficult when we have our own families to take care of. However, we do manage. She is now on different medications which is another expense. Her trailer is falling apart and repairs needed would be useless. She needs a new one and all the sibling pooling together is still not enough to cover it. I pray that someone see this and is willing to help. Thank you!

  7. Hi my name is Paula Coker my husband Bennett and I are just recently married. August 10 2017 He was put on kidney dialysis at the end of July 2017. We just moved into a house that was built in the 1920s. We are trying to get custody of his 8 yr old son but with the shape the house is in it is going to take us a while. My husband does kidney dialysis 3 days a week and has his good days and bad days. Eventually he will go on the transplant list. But we are struggling really bad with finances. He doesnt have insurance just yet hopefully medicaid and medicare will kick in soon. He was denied his disability so we are applying for it again. Any help

It would be a true blessing from God to win, our house is over 36 years old , it's got mold and dust, the floor is falling in the bathroom flooring , it's unsanitary to live on its embarrassing I have a 4 year old daughter, who needs a better Living environment , our family doesn't have alot of money in fact my wonderful super mother in law Theressa toevent and great aunt sharon jenkins , our amazing people would do anything for anyone my mother is raising all of her grandchildren, and has many health issues she's got ms disease, and etc, back in oct of last year we lost a close family member her husband David Howard and it's been so hard for us to pay our bills and especially since my mother theresa and sharon struggle to pay for 2 homes ! We can't afford it and it's very stressful for them and this would be amazing for our family to win .
    sharon didn't have to let us stay here in her home when the family moved when his mothers husband got s settlement a big one before he passed and bought them a new home , and gave us our own home and space, she's got a heart of gold and I don't know how they've manage to pay our bills too , I want to do this for them to help them for everything they've helped us with for the last 6 years or more. thank u so much

  10. My wife and I have been married for 3 years. In this short time, I my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I quit my job in order to take care of her. That was in 2014-2015. My wife's father became ill, so we left our home and moved in with him and I worked while she took care of him. I went back to work for the prison, and we moved back home only to find out that our renters destroyed our home. We decided we would fix it one room at a time. In the mean time, we took on the responsibility of taking in her nephew who is mentally handicapped. In March of 2017 she lost her uncle, in April I lost my Aunt, and in May of 2017 she lost her father. Because of the work I've had to miss, I'm on the verge of loosing my job. Our roof is leaking and we have no floors in our home. Only bad subfloor. Our home was my Grandmother's first brand new home. We just need a break. A little help. It would be so amazing to get a little break.

  11. Hello, i want to first thank you guys and applaud you guys on everything that you've done for people. For 25 years my grandparents have lived in their home and have raised all of us in it. They do so much for other people and go out of their way to make others life better. My grandmother have been going on and on about extending her bedroom and adding a bathroom. Their floors need work and their attic needs work. They live in a three bedroom, one bathroom house. They now own their house and because the house is becoming very old, its accumulating alot of issues for them. I wish i could do something for them and/or give them what they deserve but im not in the position to do so. All i want is to do whatever i can so that my grandparents can get the home they have dreamed of. No lies, No sob story, just wanted to win a chance to make them happy! Thank you guys for your time and pray that their dreams can come true.

  12. Good afternoon,
    My father is 86 years old and live in his home with my mom for over 40 years. This year in June my mother died. My father at a early age of his life had an accident and cause him to be disable. My father never had the resources to fix his home. He is located in a rural area in Tennessee. Your help to fix his home will be greatly appreciate. Thanks

  13. I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years, he just asked me to marry him. He asked me what kind of wedding did I want, I said I would rather get married in our back yard and spend what would of spend in a wedding on our kitchen, back yard, or living room. I would like to fix our back yard then have a nice simple wedding, that way when I go have coffee in the yard I can remember each time of our day.

  14. I'm 16 and I live in Germany with big family. I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers. Mom and Dad. Grandmother and granfather. In one home…. we don't have too much money to buy a home. So they give every month 700 € for home and 400€ for oil. My perents don't think what in world is miracle and so much like this because my perents past was not good… and I want help to animals and so much to do but we can not because for everything need pain… so I want to ask you all do you want to help me ?

  15. Hello we bought a house that was built in 1910 or around that time. We could use the help remodeling everything needs taking out and re done. We are living with my mom at the moment paying bills there and trying to pay bills at the house which leaves us with hardly any money to fix the house. Dream big and anything is possible

  16. I am a 20 year old currently staying in a home with my 1 year old daughter, 20 year old boyfriend, his grandmother whom is 58 & her mother who is 82. The home we all stay in is my boyfriend grandmothers & I can not describe the home in one word. Maybe HORRIFYING. There are many holes in the walls. Foundation is rotted from termites. Plumbing barely works from leaks. Its hard because we are trying so hard just to pay bills let alone trying to fix every home problem. Grandma has lupus & this house is no place for her health. Her mother is a breast cancer survivor & they both just really deserve a home that doesn't harm their health. We are trying but between bills & home repairs, hospital bills, & a 1 year old. Its a lot on this entire family. Please ABC hear our cries.

  17. My husband and I are not ones to ask for help our story starts with our first daughter we lived with my husband's grandfather when she was born we finally got enough money to get an appointment but times got rough and we ended up staying in a friend's basement while our daughter stayed with her great grandmother we moved to Wyoming to try for a fresh start and for a little while we were OK but one year after moving to Wyoming financial issues arose and we had to move in with my father in-law's finished basement we started buying the house next door shortly after I found out I was pregnant with our second child we never could have anticipated what would come on the day she was born. on 6/23/16 my daughter was born and we knew something was wrong she was born with silver hair and a red tint in her eyes we later found out she has a rare genetic disorder that only has 200 reported cases world wide we are struggling with appointments bills and fixing the house we are buying my husband is the only one working because the genetic disorder my daughter has prevents me from sending her to daycare . If she gets sick with the common cold it could hospitalize her and or put her in the advanced stage of her disorder and will require chemo treatment she is on a transplant list for a bone marrow transplant when she turns two with all the appointments and everything we don't have the money to get our home ready to move in thank you for hearing our story .her genetic disorder is called (chediak higashi syndrome)

  21. My name is Tony Taylor and my story is my wife has to wash our clothes in a dull, dim and ugly basement laundry room. It’s very small and she does her very best trying to wash our clothes in there. Every once in a while she will hint by saying to me how bad and dim the laundry room is and with all our house hold and living expenses I know I may never be able to make over the laundry room. First of all we live in an 87 year old house that could use a makeover in many areas such as the bathrooms (2-1/2) and the Kitchen is dated as well. This is the first time I’m hoping for a miracle and this would be a great surprise to my wife as we are coming into our 1oth wedding anniversary. Still dreaming of a makeover one day.

  22. Hi,
    My name is Stella O'Neal, my family and I have had 2 house fires that took everything so we bought us a home it needed some love but my husband and I seen potential in this to be our forever home. But between my going to college and my husband working his tail off everyday we can't seem to stay on top of all the repairs that are needed. I have two adorable children 6&7 and I want this house to be a stability. For my kids and my kids friends. Just looking for some help. Please help.

  23. I am writing this on behalf of my grandfather. I have looked into many programs and have tried to find whatever resources I could to help my grandfather repair his home. My grandfather is an 84 year old veteran that could use some help with repairs and I believe would be a great candidate for the Extreme Make Over Home Edition. I think this would be beneficial for him. When my grandmother who passed away in 2008 became very sick, it became overwhelming for him to be able to take care of the home needs, my grandmother, as well as my sister and I. Unfortunately, as the years passed and he got further up in age, he could not, and still are unable to do a lot of the repairs himself. If Hurricane Rita, and Ike weren't enough, he just got hit by Hurricane Harvey which caused a few more issues. I've even tried to contact the VA to find any kind of help for him, but I have pretty much exhausted any leads for help. My grandfather has done soo much for me and this would not only be great for him, but will also make me happy knowing I was able to help in some kind of way being that I don't have the finances to do it myself. He is a very giving person and will help anyone at the drop of a dime. Being on Extreme Make Over will turn the tables on him, and finally let him relax and get the help he deserves for a change. I would LOVE to see my grandfather overwhelmed with joy and happiness verses being overwhelmed with the repairs needed and trying to find a way on his own to do it. I know no one reading this knows him, but I am telling you out of the 32 years that I have known him, he is a very humble person that deserves this chance of a lifetime.

  24. Hello my name is Starneshia Jones and I am writing to you in hopes that you would consider helping my grandmother Jency Gatewood. She has worked since she was 16,she was married at the early age of 17 but that marriage did not work out.
    She later was reunited with her high school sweetheart in 1998. They both worked several jobs to survive.Well then they received custody of me ,my sister and younger brother in Jan.2000 after raising her older 2 son's. Yes it was a struggle for her but that is the kind of loving person she is.
    In 2004 she wanted us to live in a better home so she proceeded to purchase a 3 bedroom,2 bath home,butshe began to struggle to continue the mortgage payments after losing her job. We had to go back in state custody. We were still determined that we wanted to be with her. My sister went back first but by then she had her 1st child. Later when she left the home finances were really bad. So Jency had to give up her home before it was forclosed.
    Later her high school sweetheat moved into a high rise complex where he spent his last days. He passed away in 2015. So Jency moved into a 2bedroom apartment . I came back with my 1st child but later I had a 2nd child and the we received word of my cousin from Hawaii wanted to come back to Memphis so we had to get a larger space again. Well of course Jency being herself moves again. She still works a full time job trying to pay all her bills and help me support my 3 children. Please help her if you can .She sings in her choir and does what she can to help all.

  25. Hi, my name is De'Janelle. I'm currently living with my grandfather in his home. We just got approved to have my children back from foster care yesterday ( they were wrongly kept in the system) I would love to share that part of my story with you over the phone. Long story short I'm getting them back but neither me nor my grandpa have the funds to fix our ceiling, walls, or heat. It's a very old home that my grandfather owns. He's a veteran from the U.S Air force and I feel he doesn't receive what he most definitely deserves which is a comfortable place to call home. My children deserve the same, they've been through so much and they're so young. I also have an 8 month old and it's very hard to live in peace with the ceiling always leaking 🙁 I'm scared it might start an electrical fire.

  26. My father has a house that is falling apart he is in his 60's, can not remodel it himself. My mom has seizures and need someone to help her clean around the house I am trying to move in with my daughter, so that I can help her. The celing is falling apart, the basement floods when it rains, the attic is sinking in. My brother is partially deaf,can't hear when someone knocks on the door. My brother has holes in the wall he is inhaling the dust from the wall. My dad needs room for me and my 2 year old daughter to move in. We really need the help. We can't afford to fix the house. Please help us.

  27. I would like to enter for my family to win a home makeover. I own my home. It was built in 1942. It has seen its better days. It is a very small home. Don’t get me wrong, I am appreciative what God has given me. Let me explain my situation. I moved out of my home in 2007 to take care of my mom who just lived next door. She had fallen and needed round the clock care. My home was not handicap accessible. I let my daughter move in, then my nephew, then my daughter and her boyfriend. This time my daughter’s boyfriend pretty much trashed the home. When I finally got them out of the home, It had to be cleaned and everything to the flooring had to be thrown out. I had to get the Coker Millwright Car to haul the trash off because of the trash that needed to be thrown into the dumpster couldn’t be put into a regular dumpster. By this time, it is the year 2015. Eight years had passed since I had been gracious enough to let others stay in my home rent free/utility free and now it was destroyed. We managed to get it clean and livable. Again, I let someone else who was happy with the house move in and live there based on the terms that the home would be repaired. Those repairs were never made. I got married in October of 2017 and had to move back into my home. It is a rough over my head, it keeps me cooler in the summer and somewhat warmer in the winter. The permanent heat no longer works because there was water damage and the insurance only gave me ¼ of what is was going to cost to replace and update the system. Then as luck would have it, another calamity struck and the sewer was not worker properly. I had to have the sewer pumped 2 times within a short period of time. I ended up taking the money needed to repair the heating and air and putting a band aid on the sewer system. My mom had rental units to supplement her income and when the road came thru she lost those units with the exception of two pieces of property plus her home. She became a victim of identity theft and predatory lending because she was trying to build her rental business back and now she not only lost the 2 parcel of land that was her source of income for retirement but also lost her home. She fell and broke her hip in November and the financial institution took her home from her, just after she had lost her other income sources. She didn’t have anywhere to go and my house is not conducive to living conditions for her much less handicap accessible. Now, being on a limited income, she pays $1,275.00 a month rent, utilities, groceries, and what other expenses she can afford.
    My husband’s sister lost her companion of 20 years to an unexpected death. He left her with nothing. She is on a limited income, as well. She can only pay her rent and utilities and may be receives food stamps. She is a cancer patient and is taking treatments.
    Long story short, we would like to build a house that is big enough for all of us or remodel the one that we are in to do the same. To remodel the one we are in would take new wiring, new sewer system, new heating and air, etc. We try to help as many people as we can, but now we are unable to help ourselves. We are looking for someone that has the means to be able to help us. We have the land where we are now or we have another parcel of land to start a new. If you think we are deserving of this fresh start that would be amazing. I know that there are many deserving families out there and you have tough decisions to make.
    Respectfully Submitted,
    Gloria Blair-Hernandez

  28. My 3 siblings ages 15, 14 and 12 are in foster case because there is no wheres for them to go. My family has been torn apart because the home is unfit and badly meeds remodelling. The kids wont be able to come home and will have to be stuck in foster care for years. My parents are unable to get jobs as my dad is 73 and mom is 57. The power has also been cut in the home as well. This would be a miracle and blessing for the future generations of our family.

  29. Hi! I was in Yorba Linda CA on Sept. 26. While having breakfast I talkies to Ty Pennington. He suggested that I come here and apply! We have a nice seventies ranch home we built when we were just kids. Basic was what we could afford and that worked!! We raised our family and there is lots of love and memories here. Our basement is way out of date though, and I told Ty I would like to know how to make a mordern square room out of a rectangle!! Ha ha! Please consider our home for a makeover!!

  30. Hi! I saw Ty Pennington in Yorba Linda, CA, at the Ayers hotel on 9/25. I was really surprised and visited just a little. I told him that our basement in a typical 70's ranch home needs a complete makeover and how do you make a modern square look out of a rectangle!! ha ha! He told me to come and register…..so here I am. We built our house when we were just kids, 20 and 22. We couldn't afford more than just a basic stick built home and didn't have much for bells and whistles. We have raised our children and this house is not fancy but is FULL of love and good memories!! We would love to have a cozy modern room to spend the cold winter months watching movies by a fire! Thank you!!

  31. Hello my name is Brandy I'm sure there are other people out there that deserves this more than I do. I hate to ask people for help but I'm at my breaking point I don't know what to do. I had back surgery March 2016 to fuse my L4 and L5 vertabre together I went back to work 4 weeks after surgery to support my 4 daughters. This year has been stressful for our family I attend Murray State College working on getting my RN, I work full time as a medication aid and looking for a second job, my husband got hurt in June and is not able to work until he gets his hand repaired which will probably be the amputation of his pinky finger. My 16 yr old daughter got a after school job to try and help out with the house. I am buying our house from a preacher in our little town or Ringling, Okla. and it is the oldest still standing house in town. It needs a lot of repairs which we are trying to do but it cost money which I don't have. Our water lines only run to our bathroom and we have a hose ran to our washer for laundry. It works for now but would be nice to just be able to turn on the kitchen sink 😊. I would be grateful to get accepted but I also understand there are others in need. Thank you

  32. Hello My Name is Norma Gilkerson and my husband name is Brian Gilkerson, Our story is on 8/23/17 our daughter Allison "Allie" Gilkerson got on the back of a motorcycle and she was not aware that the driver had been drinking and he wrecked with her. He had no insurance on the bike nor was it licensed or registered to him. Our daughter was wearing a helmet but is busted into pieces as our understanding and she hit the guardrail plus flung about 65 feet from the wreck site. Allie has a traumatic brain injury and has multiple broken bones. She has underwent several surgeries for either/and brain, bones and removal of spleen. We are currently in our second hospital and headed to the rehab center at Children's Institute in Pittsburgh soon (well hopefully pending insurance approval). When Allie is released from the rehab center we will need to find a home that is handicapped accessible and we will need to obtain any medical equipment needed to help out our daughter gets better. We currently had to have our home packed up and put our belongings into storage because the house we currently rented is not in shape good enough to bring her home to. It is damp, black mold growing throughout the house and has a lot of plumbing issues.  Our family has been thru so much in the past 5 weeks from dealing with our 17 year daughter being injured so badly and now our family has been forced to split apart until Allie is better and then we will all be able to be back together again. My mother was living with us and she currently had to move in to a apartment for seniors and those with disabilities, Jacob my son had to go stay with his father and our other daughter got her own place. The kids life has been turned upside down from having to get rid of pets to packing up all their belongings and now just waiting for us to return home with their sister, so we all can be back in the same home again. We are need of a home that will be handicap accessible for all her special needs. If you are able to help us in anyway we would appreciate it.
     Thank you Norma Gilkerson

  33. My name is Matthew Rivera and I live in northern New Jersey with my mother. I think we wood make a good candidate for Extreme Home Makeover because obviously we need it. Our house is falling apart and is barely functional. My mom is getting older and it's hard for me as a college student to get things done around the house because I work to pay my way through school. A lot of the damage has come from a hoarding problem that my father had because he is mentally ill from the 9/11 terrorist attacks from his time as a police officer and first responder. She is such a sweet, fun energetic and caring person and it would mean the world to us. Thank you for the consideration. God bless.

  34. Extreme Makeover would be a blessing because My husband and I have 3 kids 2 with Sickle Cell and we have been trying to remodel our home for 5 years but our finances is never enough because of doctor bills and life struggles! It seems like every time we get two steps ahead we fall 3 steps back! We have been trying to do some things on our own but when we think we have one thing fix something else in the house falls apart! It’s just really depressing because the kids are asking why our house doesn’t look like there friends! I’m embarrassed to even invite anyone over! We had a mold problem which made our kids sick with respiratory problems! We had to take money that we don’t have to spare to take care of that problem for our kids safety! It’s been really hard but I just had to try this to find a way to make our home for my kids better and safe! I thank you for listening and hope and pray you all hear me because we truly need your help!

  35. My ex-mother in law took me and my son into her home at age 16 and not only did she take me in she welcomed anyone in the community that needed a place to stay into her home. Unfortunately, on November 27th she died as a result of smoke inhalation which happened because one of the families she took in left a candle unattended. Since the death of my ex-mother-in-law which I still call my mom her daughter Trellis Johnson and two grandsons Hiawatha Fleming and Keyon Thomas have been from hotel to apartment and need help to restore the family home they love so much. The home that helped so many people in the community. To this day people still come by and sit on the steps and talk about their memories with Aunt Mary. You see she was so well known everyone called her their Aunt Mary and miss the dinners and stories she use to invite them in to enjoy.

  36. My name is Delores Nix and My ex-sister-in-law and family need help in restoring my ex-mother in laws home which was caught on fire accidentally by a family she took in. Mary Thomas (my ex-mother in law) passed away from smoke inhalation as a result of the house fire and has left a void in the lives of so many people's heart and lives in the community. Mary which I called (mom) helped any and everyone she could and now her family needs help in restoring the family home that not only housed her family and friends but anyone that was in need. Her daughter and two grandsons whom helped her with the home are now in an apartment after months in hotel but would love to see the family home restored not only for them but for mom. Mary (mom) sacrificed so much to keep the house so anyone from her home town or in the area didn't have anywhere to go they could call Aunt Mary and she would let them come to her home. She was adopted by all as their favorite aunt. Please help her daughter restore her home not only for herself and Mary's grandkids but for the community also. Believe it or not although the house is burnt people from the community come and sit on the steps and tell stories about how Aunt Mary helped them and how she would love to see her family back in the home.

  41. Hi my name is Virginia Lawrence I live at 51 Lobelia Ave in browns Mills NJ. 08015. My finance' s name is Jeremiah Kessler. We have 3 amazing children and a amazing nephew that lives with us. My finance and I both work but, we do not make a lot of money at our jobs. All of his money goes to our utilities for our home like gas, electric, and water bil and he pays for our car insurance so we can get back and forth to work. All of my money goes to our mortgage payment which is 994.18 a month and I buy groceries and we both support our kids
    on anything they need. We are a low income family that barely makes ends meat. We need a lot of home repairs done on our home. Especially our roof. Our roof is so bad that when it rains it leaks inside our home. We need a whole new roof, but we can not afford to fix any home repairs Especially our roof. Our roof is the worst. We have had roof contractor come out here, but they all say the same thing its gonna cost us between 18'000 to20'000 for a new roof. We don't have that kind of money we barely make it now. We have tried to get assistance through programs but nobody wants to help us. My fiancé and I work so hard to support our children and make sure they have a roof over their head. But it breaks our heart because we can not afford to fix our house up so they can live in a nice home. My children are great kids and they deserve to live in a nice home. I just don't know what to do I really need a new roof so I am asking can you please help us with fixing my home so my children can have a real home thank you. I would appreciate it so much. Sincerely Virginia Lawrence

  42. Hey,
    My names Treavor Randall. I live in Mobile, AL and was wondering… would yall remake our home. I have two younger brothers, Troy and Tyler. I have my mother staying with me too. She is 49 and I'm doing my best to keep her going. Our bills are off the roof. Power, water and gas bills are higher than my social security check, which is the only thing we can depend on, other than me getting my foodstamps of only $35. The floors in our house are starting to get lumps in them, cuz their made of wood, from an almost busted water pipe under the middle of the house. Two maybe three, idk, windows have been busted and we don't have the money to set aside to get it fixed. My moms room has a hole in the roof right above her bed, oh and her names Tammy. We still have power going through the house for sum reason! I've wanted y'all to come to our house to help us out, I've seen your show and am impressed with all the people you helped. If you could come here and help us out, I would surely appreciate it. Oh and one last thing, this house was owned by great grandma Edwina Busby. If you do decide to come here, there's only one thing I would want from this house and this is the concrete step on the back porch where the wind from hurricane Katrina ripped it right off. The step has my great grandfathers name and that's all that I would want. I seriously am doing this for the best reason, my mom. So, if y'all decide to come out here and help us out I would truly appreciate it,
    Sincerely,
    Treavor Randall

  43. Hi, I'm Trellis Johnson and I'm asking for help on my Mother Home, which was cause by a fire 11/22/2016 and she passed on 11/27/2016 due to smoke inhalation. We weren't able to stay in the house because of the Smoke. Our Family was placed in a hotel for a little while. Now we're in a Apartment trying to do the best we can to see if we'll be able to restore the Home, we need major help. Mom helped so much in the Community. Even took in homeless people with their kids until they got a place. Didn't matter what color you were she just had a Heart ❤️ of care!!! That's what happened when the fire started by someone she was helping out accidentally lite a candle, downstairs and she was upstairs in her Bedroom, and couldn't get out. We used to watch the program every week, and just cry with the other Family whom seems to be so Blessed. I've asked God questions on what, and how to handle things that he knows about more than I. So one day I was just watching JASON show on TV and he said that TLC Shows were coming back. I said Lord I pray this is a sign for help. Please concider my Family we need you all desperately. Sincerely yours, Trellis

  44. Hi, my name is Lauren. I live in a small community called Luminary on the top of Dayton mountain in Bledsoe county. my family and I moved here from Texas when I was in the sixth grade. A few months after we moved here our home burned to the ground. We lost everything except for the clothes on our backs and our car. Luckily my aunt and her husband at the time took us in. And several people from the community brought us blankets and warm clothes. I've had a dream to start a clothing and food pantry for those in need in my community. But sadly neither me nor my family have the funding to do so as we are way below the poverty line. After bills, food, and household needs we have around $15 for all other needs. The person who suffers most from our low income is my amazing mom. It has been several years since she has had proper winter clothing, or even good shoes. She sacrifices so much for us, putting our needs first before she even thinks about doing anything for herself. She deals with so much… taking care of my bed bound uncle, mentality and physically disabled husband, sickly son, and mentally disabled me. We live on a rundown piece of land with two leaky roofed rundown trailers and a horror movie looking storage house. We are living in very poor conditions and have no way of helping the situation. If you would like to hear more of a back story and witness our situation, I would love to receive an email from you and set up a time to meet. Thank you for your time.

  45. My name is Fouzia ,I'm Asian American and lived in Kannapolis North Carolina since ten years or more .i have a six years son who is in kindergarten now .im living in a two very small bedrooms house ,before my son me and my husband have separate rooms because he worked physically very hard so he needs a separate room but after the birth of my son now it's hard to live in this house ,both me and my son both share the bedroom,as he wish that he needs a separate room with blue stuff I feel so bad that I can't do this .my husband is a self employed and he's not make too much money ,there's not efficient closets or wardrobe here so most of my stuff is in plastic containers it's hard to live some time to get his shirts or school stuff .i know no one hav interest in my problems I know we are not local community like the black or white,but I just want to share something may this program organizer keep notice it .thanks

  46. Hi, my name is Christy Utter.
    I'm currently living at my father's house, I help take care of the home because he is sick a lot lately and doctors don't even know what's wrong with him. His home needs a lot of work done to it and i mean a lot of work. But it's not just me that is living with him it is my 3 children as well. I have 2 daughters and a son, Emma is 9 soon to be 10 next month, CarrieAnne is 7 and cayden is 3 soon to be 4 in November. But there is 3 more children that live here as well that iam is taking care of for a friend of mine for a little while. My father is also a retired vet who surved in the Korean war. He also has spinobiffia. The house we are all in is a 14 x 70 3 bed 2 bath Trailer and it seems like every time we turn around something is wrong with the house or my father's vehicle. We are all struggling so bad and it's getting to where i don't even know what to do any more to make things better for all of us because of all the repairs that need to be done. So as I've been typing this all I've been doing is crying and praying that you will answer my prayers for help. I would love to here back from you and it get a surprise visit from you as well. Thank you for your time. God bless you all. ❤

  47. Oak Grove is a home that was originally build in late 1700's. It was in existence during the civil war. It's a very warm looking plantation house with warm loving owners. The owners that live in this home are so warm hearted and kind. When you meet them, You can feel the love they have for each other and you can see it in their children & grandchildren. They have a old fashion down home unconditional love for everyone. Their sweet manners and down home caring nature are noticed the first second you meet them. They have always been hard working and had a tight knit closeness to the community. The house has as much personality as the owners. It has a southern whimsical charm that draws you to want to go knock on the door and ask to have a tour. If walls could speak, a wonderful education of history, life, love, and survival would be your award.
    I Heard today the family has request to have some assistance from my husband in helping to renovate the old kitchen. He has agreed to do so. After learning what they want to do it made me think to look into applying for assistance from your wonderful group of people.
    I also want to give alittle personal information on this delightful family.
    A little while ago Nancy the home owner and Her husband Mickey had received some scary news. Nancy has Cancer and has been fighting for a normal life to start back so she can be the hardworking loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend she has always been. The road of treatments has been very emotional and painful for her. Even though she has had a hardship, She just keeps pushing forward. Now currently she received the hardest blow to her heart and soul. Mickey had to go to the emergency room last week and thought he was having a heart attack. As it turns out he has Cancer as well. He is very strong and would never frown to anyone. He is always positive and sticky sweet. He wants to do everything for everyone.
    They have decided to get some of the home remodeled so their daughter her husband and two twin granddaughters can move in with them and share the home for probably many reasons. I believe in miracles and I'm awaiting to tell the success store of newly built and designed kitchen for this family. When a group of people work together for one quest, And add in love with determination ( A dream will become a reality)
    Please help me help Nancy & Mickey have the Oak Grove Kitchen they deserve. I can already picture the family having warm meals and smiles together.
    Thank you for your time and Thank you for helping so many people.
    You must feel like Gardians of Love Peace and Joy.

  48. We are 4 families living in antique old hotel. Only place big enough for our 4 families. We r currently renting but do to our credit and debt to income being not good. We are unable to buy it. We would like to buy it then rennovate it, to look like it did in the early 1900's, on the outside. In side fit it to match our needs.

  49. Greetings. My story takes us back to childhood roots.
    My parents dream began in the 50’s. Dad was on weekend leave from the Airforce and met mom. 2 ½ weeks later they married and their story began. A healthy son was born the next year and soon after, a daughter. This time, mom suffered from Toxemia and when they tried to induce labor, my sisters heart stopped beating. Upon delivery, she was soon diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. 9 years later, another daughter (me) made a final appearance to round out the Bailey household.
    Over the course of 50 years, our parents worked hard to ensure us 3 children had a place to gather for future generations. This dream came to fruition when they bought their dream home in the 60”s in an extremely rural Paulding County, Ga. It was a beautiful brick home on 4.5 acres and included a pond.
    Over many years, the house was maintained, and Dad built a large in ground pool for all to enjoy. This homestead entertained not only us children, but spouses, grandchildren, and many friends. Because of this, our minds are flooded with memories that will never be forgotten.
    10 years ago, my dad passed way after a long battle with recurring Cancer. Through it all, my mom nursed and tended his every need. In the end, my dad died peacefully in this home with my mother by his side.
    However, with my mom approaching 80 and battling COPD, she is now dependent on oxygen. In March, mom passed out, fell, and hit her head on her oxygen machine. Upon laying on the floor for hours, police were finally summoned by a sibling, and they had to break into moms house in order to transport her by ambulance. It was a slow recovery. After a week in the hospital, she came to stay with me for a couple weeks, but being the trooper she is, my mom rocked physical therapy every day in order to gain her strength back and once again became independent.
    Summer, however, proved to be overwhelming as my parents had never installed central heating and air conditioning. We now know mom cannot take another Summer or Winter without central heat and air, and frankly, mom feels at this point, she is not comfortable living alone.
    After debating for months on the right avenue, I have finally decided, it would be most beneficial, if I move back into the home with mom, take out a 100K rehab loan and completely renovate the place. It will be quite the undertaking and one that overwhelms me greatly. I would love to work with your team and help make this process easier on our minds and hearts.
    If you are interested in our story, we would love to meet with you and discuss.

    Thanks so much for listening to our story,
    Cathy Ellison

  52. Hi I am writing you to please help us renovate my husbands family home. His father passed away almost 2 years ago and his mother 1 month ago. We have inherited 1/2 of his parents home. We have never owned a house before. I am almost 60. We would love to keep this house that was in my husbands family for 80+ years. My husband wants to buy out his brother but we can't afford to do that and also renovate the home. It would be a forty year dream come true. My husband's back gave out on us about 3 years after we met and we never really had a chance to buy a home. He had to be go back to school to be retrained in something his back would allow him to do. Now we have an opportunity to make it happen.

  53. Tiffany Del Rosario here, a solo-parent from Makati City, Philippines. I was abandoned by my foreigner husband 13 years ago. Left with piles of debts to pay and making ends meet to take care of my teen age son. My last blow was my condominium unit was infested by termites. It was never renovated since the day I moved in 17 years ago. Now very old and falling apart, I am desperately seeking help. My prayers and high hope that you would consider to help me. Thank you so much.

  54. Hello,
    My name is Amie MCCANE and I am a wife and mother. Last March me and my husband lost the house we were renting, and currently staying with family. We have a one year old and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with our second. It is getting harder to live with family since ours is growing. Family that owns the property made a deal with us that if we move a trailer, that they want out of their way, to another part of the property we can do whatever we want to it and stay as long as we need. Sounds great but in reality my husband has been having bad luck when it comes to jobs from getting laid off, no hours, to even getting cheated out of several hundred dollars. And adding up coast from sewer, serves, set up ECT. This seems impossible. I just ask if y'all can help us move and set up our trailer. The new baby will be here in January and between time and money everything is running out except my hope that yall might could help us be able to have a place to bring our baby home to and to be a family.
    Yours truly
    Amie McCane

  56. Hello my name is Davina.

Damages have accumulated and are hard and harder to fix. Just seems like the harder everyone works the worst it gets. We have three dogs in the back yard (outside dogs)
    My son needs a loving home and my family needs so where can finally sit down feel comfortable and breath it's stressful here with all the heat. We'd love to be able to enjoy the inside of our place but noone wants to really be here it's hard to just get up and move too many family memories we want to keep ever single one and continue to have more. CAN YOU PLEASE SAve our House. 🏠

  57. Hello. I'm hoping you see my comment and that I can describe to you exactly how I feel, which is hopeless. My home is in need of repairing, such as my kitchen cabinets are falling apart. I've painted over them but the drawers especially just keep coming apart. I've glued , but they are really old. My bathroom is the size of a small square closet. It is very unsafe when my oldest son has meltdowns. The toilet rocks and we spent all our saving when we first moved in because the pipes were messed up and other small repairs and mold damage near our washer and dryer. Some outlets do not work and there is some water damage and old ceiling fans. We are unable to replace and fix them. My oldest child (6) has autism and I have an 8 month old. I'm struggling to find time to do anything or afford anything. I've had to cut my hours at work because of major life changes. I had a new baby this year, my father passed away, and my brother and mother were in a major car accident and can not help as much as they use to. My mother is also disabled and my son is 70lbs, non verbal with aggression. I'm constantly struggling to clean or fix up small repairs around the house. I feel so hopeless and desperate. We can't keep our yards maintained because my husband works a lot just to make ends meet.

  58. My name is Rosemarie Fair. When I was younger I was in the system. My mother would choose to spend time with the bottle before she would spend time with me. I was born legally dead. I ended up having a lot of medical problems. I am waiting on the decision in regards to my SSI. I have a lot of animals and cannot afford for me and my fiancee to be on the streets with animals as it is getting cold. I am a current college student pursuing my bachelors degree in business administration. I am struggling with my math class but I am doing what I can. My fiancee and I are about to lose the house that was his dads when he was alive. We need help. The trailer has some things that need fixed but we cannot afford to fix them. We live in Mt Sterling Kentucky and are wondering if you could help us out with a new place to live. We moved to Kentucky after his dad died and my step mom died. The reason that we moved is because his mom's house in Erie Pennsylvania was condemned by code enforcement as the wiring was faulty and the furnace was bad. There was no sink in the bathroom. The walls were not even finished being put up and there was several holes throughout the house. Also the house had black mold and the ceiliing leaked. We moved in with his brother and now all of us are about to lose the trailer that we live in. I need to have one room that I can use as my classroom that is sound proof as we have animals and I cannot afford to have any distractions. I do all of my schooling online and need to be able to focus on doing my schoolwork and I need to make sure that I am able to pass my schooling. I have way too many medical problems for a 34 year old. I have been doing all of my schooling on a tablet and smart phone as my laptop has a broken screen. I would love to be able to help animals and children but am unable to do so in a trailer. My fiancee and I have been together for 3 years now and the whole time that we have been together we have never had a place of our own as we have lived with people the whole time as we cannot afford to buy our own house. We would love to have a place that we can call our own. I would like to do bake sales and basket sales from the comforts of my own home and where we live we cannot do that. I have watched your show before and that is why I am asking you if you can help us out. I am the type of person who likes to help people out if I am able to. We have also been wanting to get my daughter in our custody but cannot do so in the living situation that we are in and have been in. So can you please contact me at my email address or via private messenger on facebook to let me know if you can help. My facebook page is under Rosemrie Jean Fair.

  59. If I could give my mom the world, I would, I just to want to surprise her with something so memorable that she would be able to cherish this moment for the rest of her life.

    Greetings Ellen, first off, I absolutely love your show as well as appreciate everything that you do for the community. My name is Harold, I am 27 years old & live in upper marlboro MD. I am reaching out to you because my best friend, and I are trying to surprise my mom by giving her an extreme makeover for her home. My mother is absolutely amazing, caring, strong-willed and a fighter. She is a single hardworking mother with a daughter/ my sister who is bed written with a feeding tube and tracheostomy. My mom truly at no time gets a break once she gets off work .She has to be home to relieve our nurses by rpm everyday. Last year my mom slip and fell at work and broke her foot, which never fully healed. Lately she is always in constant pain but somehow finds a way to remain positive at all times. My mom is unable to move the same nor walk the identical and if it rains, she is in Dyer pain. I notice that when she gets off work, she comes home and is always exhausted, I can tell she is extremely stressed but still finds a way to remain happy. She has sacrificed so much for my sister and I & I believe this opportunity would mean the absolute world to her. The entire home needs to be re-decorated and a few renovations in the bathrooms as well as my sisters room. I hope this letter finds you well Ellen, and I hope to hear from you soon.

    I just want to be able to give my mom at least a piece of the world back the same way she gave it to us.

    Yours Truly,
    Harold

  61. Hi, my name is Liz. There's this beautiful woman with a huge heart of gold. She has raised five of her own children on her own, and then some including my son and I. Her son Robert just recently passed away unexpectedly, leaving her on her own. He faced many struggles in life from mental illness, and she stood by him everyday for 53 years. She has always given to the less fortunate, although she herself doesn't have much. She has never expected anything in return. Her home is coming apart at the seams. The roof is starting to bow and the walls are coming apart. She is an angel to everyone who she comes across. She deserves so much more then we could ever repay her. Please help my grandmother.

  62. Hi, my name is Sheryl. I am currently a guest service representative/dual rate supervisor for a casino and my husband is a school bus driver. We are currently living with his mother in a little 2 bedroom house, on a contract for deed. We have struggle most our lives but the last 8 years have been rough due to my husband going through 2 surgeries for his heart (1 being a double bypass surgery). We live paycheck to paycheck and often find that every little bit we manage to save, goes to help our children in time of need, and on the animals we currently have staying with us. Our contract for deed was due to expire 2 years after moving into the house and luckily we are still currently on the same contract for deed. We were told we needed to apply for a mortgage but due to working on credit repairs, we are still unable to apply for a mortgage. We have much repairs needed to the house and the outside buildings, but they exceed any limitations we could even cover. In the past 18 months we have had our granddaughter here 3/4 of the time, taking care of her. She is currently sleeping in her pack and play at the bottom of our bed but will soon need to be in a toddler bed. We have, maybe if you're lucky, a 1 foot wide path around the bed/pack and play to enter/exit and move around the room. Also, a few times we had our boys move back in with us and had to give them a space to sleep in the basement which is covered in black mold. We ended up taking this little 2 bedroom house due to what we could financially afford at the time, not realizing all the expenses that came with it, along with having the granddaughter here most of the time. Between medical bills for my husband and our animals, we end up cutting ourselves short no matter what the circumstances. We have always been there to help others, in their time of need, asking nothing in return. But as time passes, we find ourselves dealing with things we cannot control nor afford to fix. Within the first 2 years of moving in, we had to replace our whole septic system, parts on our furnace, several sub pumps in the basement, and the water heater. I usually do not do this kind of thing, but at times I feel I am desperate and need help more now then ever before. I am not the type of person to ask for anything nor beg for anything, and my pride always gets in the way. Please take the time to read and considered helping a family in need. Thank you so much, Sheryl.

  63. My name is Katie I lost my husband in April of this year and we were both on disability we both tried to do things ourselves but with the pain and money problems we never got the inside of the house done we did manage to get the outside done. Now that Michael passed away I'll never be able to get the inside done, in need help this was our dream home and for me it still is.Need your help. Thanks Katie

  64. Hi, my name is Sheryl Lathrop. My husband Brian, his mother Peggy and myself live in a little 2 bedroom home on a 40 acre farm. We have lived here for 5 years now on a contract for deed with terms we were to get a mortgage finance done after 2 years, but we are working on building up our credit the past few years. The house is in need of many repairs, along with all the buildings on the outside (including a barn) but even with the 3 of us working, we are just getting by financially. We also have 2 children over the age of 18 who end up at times moving back in and sleeping in the basement, which is covered in mold due to water leakage with all the rain we have gotten this summer. In the past year, Brian and I, have had our 1 year old granddaughter here a majority of the time. When she is here we have her sleeping in her pack and play at the bottom of our bed, and we have maybe a little path to walk around to enter and leave the room. We try to do things as we have a little extra cash, but that is nothing but a rare occasion the past few months. We give all our extra time and cash to help the grown children out when they are in need or have unforeseen circumstances occur. We really would like to make improvements to the size of the living arrangements but can not do anything about it at this time. We have 7 dogs and 3 cats that ended up in our custody, that nobody else wanted and we would not let them be left on the side of the road. I usually do not ask for anything or expect anything, but sometimes living in these tough times really can be depressing and exhausting at the same time. Having a better and bigger house would be my dream come true for my family. Thank you so much for listening. Sheryl

  66. Hello! My partner and I live in a one bedroom condo. We have switched careers in our 40's to help animals in need. We do not and cannot have kids unfortunately do to my history with cancer. We are currently looking for a place to help animals that require rehabilitation to find a forever home and in the meantime spend our evenings catching homeless, abandoned and feral animals to socialize, vet them and attempt to make them suitable for domestic life. This is difficult, expensive and time consuming but also rewarding. We lack organization and efficient space to holdover for rescue pickup. We spend all our time, energy and resources on food , supplies and vetting. Our goal would be to have efficient, effective and workable space in our home to accomplish these tasks. Due to our limitations, we cannot help as much as we'd like to. We could really use expert help and opinion to improve our current situation. It's a large space that just could use a fresh set of eyes and ideas. We do not require construction but maybe some really cool ideas and a total refresh!

  70. Hello,
    My name is Nicola Young. I live in marietta,Ga., with my family. I am married. My husband name is Damian Lowery, we have five outstanding children, one girl, four boys. Ages, 17 teen, 15 teen, 14 teen, 10 and 2! We also have a dog. I am currently going back to college, love helping others, and giving back. So I have an desire to get my degree as a nurse. My husband is the only one working at this moment for this to happen. We have a long unbelievable life story together. We were both raised in California, that is where we met. We have always dreamed of owning a home one day, and in about thirty days this dream is about to turn into a reality! Very exciting, because this is happening, and our oldest daughter is preparing for college. The home itself is very beautiful to us, but there are repairs that need to be done, that I am not sure we will be able to handle, also an unfinished basement that we would love to turn into a children cave/ family room. With so much going on in our lives, football, track,lacrosse,training,work and school. With only one income at the moment we our unsure we will be able to complete the home repairs and the basement. Yes, our dream of owning a home will be wonderful, it would just also be nice for a moment in life to be able to have an home where our children would be excited to invite and entertain there friends, and a place where they love being. We have been through a whole lot these nineteen years together, we have over came a lot of tough life challenges, we have had no place to go at times. But we always pushed forward, and made sure our babies where the number one priority. Schools,friends, family, and strangers, always have great things to say about them. They stay out of trouble, they are very talented, they choose to be around others who are wanting to uplift themselves and others. We are very excited and would love to do something very special for our children. I would also want to do something very special for my husband, I believe he deserves it 100 percent. We are always saying what we would do if we were ever given an opportunity. If you read this far, and we are not ones that were picked. I would like to just thank you for having the time to read my post. Would love for you to come out to meet us, and our very first home that we are purchasing!!!
    Thanks, Nicola

  71. You need to submit this story for REAL!!! That woman is hero in my eyes!! Too many parents turn a blind eye in today's society and she absolutely did not! Lol

  72. I am a mother of three who carries the weight of the world on her shoulder by juggling work and being a mother. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my children who are 19, 15 and 5. Just when I thought I was halfway there I learned of a surprise baby and yes she was a surprise. I struggled with my first two and didn't know what to do but I promised God I would do my best with his help in raising her especially after almost miscarring her nearly four times due to stress related to my job.

    As a child I always stood out and people never took to me and that carried over for me as an adult. People are drawn to me and they pay very close attention to me but simply hate me. Over the years I have been faced with great persecution but it never stops me from helping others. Even if that meant for me to stop what I was doing just to pray for them. I would give the clothes off my back to help another in need to which I have but I always come up short because people don't know the sacrifices I have made and made for others.

    Over the years I have tried to make renovations to my home but I have been unsuccessful. Sometimes I have to decide whether to put food on the table or have something fixed around the house. People will never know my struggle cause I cry inwardly not showing my children how hard it is and how cruel life can be.

    Nothing and I mean nothing has never been given to me…for I work for everything and grateful to God almighty to whom I serve that one day I will no longer have to struggle or hide my tears behind close doors like other mothers who struggle and turn to God for help.

  73. My husband and I are not the kind of people to ask for any kind of help or handout but we are currently at our wits end. We received a notice from our homeowner's insurance that our home is in disrepair and the repairs need completed by December 9, 2017 in order for them to consider insuring us. Well sounds like an easy fix to just apply with another insurance company, we have found no it's not that easy. We have been up front with every insurance company we have called as to why we are calling and all that have come out and looked have agreed with our current insurance company so no go there. We have been trying to refinance our home to get the money but it doesn't seem that we have enough equity in our home. We need help and we need it bad and we need it soon. We love our home and have been working on the inside and once it is finished we were planning on completing the outside. I guess over the years of helping everyone else with their home projects and other fundraising things we have assisted with, we have neglected our own home and it's now to the point as what do we do and where do we turn. I figured i would try and give you all a shot at helping us. Please contact us if we are a good candidate for your program. I am hoping we will be because we are currently in dire need of help to get our house in great shape by December 9, 2017. On top of all this my husband was diagnosed to have every strand of lyme's disease and just recently as having no good cholestoral at all. Myself was diagnosed recently with a type of migraine that causes stroke symptoms and you have extreme vertigo for days. We are not lazy by no means and would do all the work ourselves but we are to a point of needing to ask someone else for help for once. Thank you.
