  1. The Wildlife Rescue Association of BC is a charity organization that is in desperate need of a makeover. We are located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, and treat wild animals, from owls to loons (and once even a wolverine) from all over BC. We have rotting floors and mouldy walls, and treat over 4,500 wild animals a year within a tiny 1,100 square foot area. We are very low on funds, but need your help to maximize our space to help the wildlife! Though it's not a home, we are in great need of an extreme hospital makeover!

  2. I am applying on behalf of my cousin Maria Butler and her family. Maria went into the hospital in November of 2014 for artery surgery and came home three months later a double amputee. She was totataly shock,but so very grateful to be alive. She has a wonderful husband and a great support system. She is learning to drive a 22 inch wheelchair in a home with 18 or 20 inch door frame. Her bathroom is too small for most of her equipment. Please consider this great family who is in need of some major help. Thanking you in advance.

  3. I'd like to apply for my uncle that lost his home due to fire. He's living in his shed right now. Please consider helping him rebuild his life.

  6. My husband died of cancer on 2009. I did not realize there was no insurance to pay off our debts, was worried about paying for cremation.
    Our home needs new siding and a new roof. There is no money for either. We have a tarp on the roof now, and black mold on the walls in the bathroom I use. I try and keep up with it.
    This home was part of the Lousianna Georgia Pacific suit, but we purchased the house used and did not know this until I saw an article about the suit. I then contacted LGP about it and what to do and found out the people we had purchased the home from had gotten the money, and there was no help for us.
    I live in a small community called Creswell, just south of Eugene Oregon. Not much to offer here but a good place to live.
    I hope this is enough to warrent even a look see from your end. I'm afraid to go thru another winter. My credit is non exsistant because of the debts I'm trying to pay off too slowly. Medical bills, large mortgage payments etc keep my in the red.
    Thank you for considering me.
    So glad your show is coming back. Have missed it.

  7. Hi my name is kayla and I am 19 years old.I live in a small town in Michigan named Yale. Also known as the town with only one stop sign. I am writing in behalf of my mom. Just recently me her and my older brother moved out of our home we grew up in because of a divorce between my mom and dad. And we pretty much had no choice moving out. Living there was beautiful but now we live in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment. Which that means my brothers room is the closet. All it fits is his bed and a dresser. My mom is a local hairstylist in our home town and doesn't make enough to get our own house. We live here to help her out with payments and such and try to get her back on her feet. I only work at a discount store so that doesn't bring in as much money as we need. I would just really love to give my mom the house she deserves. She is truly a great woman. Thank you very much!

  8. Hello guys I'm writing on behalf of my parents. They lived a normal life & were ready to retire, living in New York my father decided to buy land & move back to his hometown in Georgia where he was going to build my mother her dream house. Well a year after they bought the land my father was diagnosed with Cancer, its stage 3 Lung cancer but because it keeps coming back its considered stage 4 and non curable. Well there goes the idea of my mother's dream house. All of my parents money went for medical bills. They bought a fema camper & have been living in it for the past year. They have no running water they use my Aunts who lives next door, there is no septic tank, so using the bathroom is a hassle. I just wish I had money to help them they have always been there for me & made sure I had everything I needed growing up & I just want my father to be able to leave this world knowing my mother is set. It's sad that they both have worked their whole lives and they have to live like this. I'm just asking for help PLEASE & thanksssss

  9. I would like to apply for an extreme home makeover. I am the proud mother of four children and two of my children have severe autism. I work full time for All Children's Hospital and my husband stays home with the children. I am currently pursuing my masters degree in hopes of securing a well salaried position that can support my family. We are renting a home and I have been able to make ends meet by using my school loans to help compensate only having one income. It is imperative that one of us stay home to care for all of our children but especially our two autistic children. Being the parents of two autistic children is very stressful and at times overwhelming. It has been difficult because we are in a home that is too small for us all and there are always issues with safety or lack of room for therapy or teaching life skills. I would love to be given a home that my family can grow in. I especially want to give it to my husband, who works as a father, partner, therapist, taxi-driver, nurse, etc. The list goes on and on…. Also, to give my two young daughters somewhere to be proud of and have the privacy to have a friend over. Having a 10 year old autistic brother scares away my 5 year old daughters friends and it hurts her feelings. My two youngest children have had to grow up fast and act like the older siblings. I thank God for them but at the same time it breaks my heart a bit. I have never asked for anything in my life. I am the type of person that believes if you want something then you must work to receive it. However, I can't provide a home for my family, so I am asking for your help. Once my schooling ends which is soon the loan payment will be a huge financial strain and the small villa we are currently living in is being sold and we have to be out January 2016. I don't know how we will find the money to move. I fear we will have to move into an apartment. I want to give my children a yard and a room of their own. I want my husband and I to actually sleep in the same bed again. I adore my children and I ask you to please consider us to be a canidate to be on the show. Please help me to give my family a home where my two disabled children can grow up safely and my two typical girls can have a life. Thank you for your consideration.

  10. Hello my name is Andrea!I am nominating myself and fiancee Jeff. I was born with a physical disability called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Cogenita, which is a joint and muscle stiffness.I also get bronchitis and have asthma and I'm sick a lot.
    I watch the show all the time and have always dreamed of someone helping me. The house I live in is to small for me to get around in my power wheelchair, my roof leaks and has formed black mold in my ceiling.
    My mom spent most of my life taking me to Shrines in St. Louis and my sister's were left at home with my grandma. I have had at least 12 surgeries. I met my fiancee through Facebook. His cousin's daughter has the same disability and we were friends, her daughter was having problems and I told her that if she needed to talk she could call me and left my number. Well that night Jeff called me, it was very awkward at first but then he called 2 days later and we couldn't get off the phone with each other. Three months later he made the 6 hour trip from Nebraska to Missouri to see me. We have been together for a little over three years now and I couldn't be happier.
    Jeff takes very good care of me and we hope that you could choose us so we can move on with our lives.
    Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

  12. Dear friends:
    I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself. Allen was married before me. However, his wife was killed in a wreck on their way to church. He and his family suffered a terrible loss.
    Allen and I met at the magnolia festival in our town that we live in. We married, built a home which is not complete. We Pastor a small church. We still need to finish it, but we ran out of funds. We need siding finished, porches finished and a yard. I would love to win this makeover for my husband. He and his wife that passed away had a home where they lived 30 years . They built their home on her uncles property. Allen devilered their children in that home. Unfortunately when Debbie was killed her uncle took his home due to the fact the land was his. Allen had to walk away and start over.
    Please help me make an oasis for him. Thanks
    Penny

  13. A family of 5 need a home whether built or bought. I has to be newer if bought and have an air filtration system in it. Back story… the baby they never planned (failed birth control) came 3.5months early. The couple moved into their own place only now to find out that it isn't safe for their daughter and making her breathing problems worse. She has been hospitalized so much in the past year bc of her lungs. Often times when their daughter is hospitalized the other children stay with relatives bc the dad works during the day and does snow removal about 2 hrs from home. The mom is a stay at home mom bc of the daughter's health issues. Their children are ages 6, 2, and 1. They never ask for handouts and are always looking to help others even giving their last dollar to some in need.

  16. Hi my name is Melissa and I'm not exactly sure how this works but thought I would give it a try! I am a mother of three and would love to have extreme makeover build a house for my son. My son will be three in may and has a very hard battle since he was two months old. He was born with only half of his pituitary glad working he had his first seizure and was unconscious at 2 months old we spent 9 days at arkansas children's hospital on little rock arkansas where he was diagnosed with diabeties insipidous , chairi malformation type 1, and hypotuartiam he was also diagnosed with a thyroid issue a couple months after that. He has also recently been diagnose with ONH ( optic nerve hypopalsia) which is damage to the optic nerve so he is blind. He was also diagnosed about a week ago with anemia. He is also developmently delayed and gets therapy. The house we are currently living in belongs to my father who lives here also and as it is not unlivable it could use a lot of work to better suit my son and everyone. My dad has let us live here and not pay a thing so that I could provide the best I can for my son. I would just like to say despite all my son has been through he is the happiest baby I have seen always has a smile on his face! Thank you for listening to my story and we would love to have the blessing of a new home and god bless everyone

  19. Hi my name is Tiara we are a family of 3. I have a wonderful husband that works every day and he tries so hard to make it for our daughter Kimberly. She is 3. When I found out I was pregnant my family helped us get a used mobile home and now its falling in. We cant afford to fix it up or to replace it. My husband tries harder and harder every day to get us a better place but almost 3 years ago he got hurt on the job and he was laid up for almost 6 months and we lost our vehicle and everything else. We have been trying our best to get everything caught up but with all the bad things he has against him we aren't able to get a home or afford it. We are living with his parents and it is very hard on him having a family and not being able to supply for us. So if God could grant us one wish it would be to help us out and get us where we need to be. God please bless us with a new home for our family.

  23. Hello my name is Teresa Stevenson. I served in the Army for 10 years and am not medically retired due to PTSD. My two children and I now live with my parents who are trying everything that they can to help my children and I get back on their feet. My parents need a place to live. They own a business and the home is attached. However, the home is so old that there isn't actually any living in the home except to sleep. We have a kitchen upstairs but the oven doesn't work and the floor is so flimsy that we get worried about falling through. So we try to feed everyone out of the small business kitchen while my parents are preparing meals for customers. There are times we don't eat till much later because the business is so busy we can't get into the kitchen. There are 8 of us living in a 3 bedroom house. My sisters live upstairs in the two bedrooms. My mom and dad are crammed in the back room sharing their space with the washer and dryer. My 6 and 7 year old and myself live in the open area just outside my parents room which is just a walkway to get to the stairs. Then my aunt lives in a room slash office that they built for privacy out in the business area. My family does so much and tries to help everyone that they can without realizing that they need to take time for themselves. My parents off to cater a lot of events and then even though they have bills to pay they still turn around and donate 100% of the profit to the organization putting on the event. My parents deserve a chance to relax. Leave work and enter a home that they can enjoy. I love my parents with all of my heart and I want to see them happy. They love this place and their community so much that they wont ask for help. So I am. Some friends and myself decided that I should try this. Can you please help????

Thank you for your time I look forward to seeing ya'll again if we are picked

  29. Hello Everyone, My name is Diona Holbrook I am 33 years old married and have 4 beautiful children ages 6,7,9,and 13. We live in a very small town called State Road in North Carolina. I am entering my family in hopes that Extreme Makeover picks our family to help me make our childrens dreams of living in a nice house that family and friends can come to without embrassment. Let me start from the beginning, We live in a family owned 1984 tin mobile home. While we don't have to pay rent or house payments for this house owned by my mother in law we pay dearly in other ways . my husband is a hard working man and works at one of our local factories. He works as much overtime as possible but with a family of 6 the badly needed house repairs always have to take a back seat. I am a stay at home mom of 4 children Colin 13 , Caelee 9, Ethen 7, and Tori 6. ok about our mobile home I don't want anyone to think I am ungrateful for the shelter we have over our heads I just want so much more for my children then I ever had .Okay our mobile home is 3bedroom 1 bath 14×60. all rooms are very small especially with 6 people cramped inside.When we first moved in the house my husband and I slept in the living room on a blow up air mattress so that the kids would have the bedrooms. About 3years ago we took our entire tax refund and enclosed our back porch to finally have a space for us a bedroom . But this was a costly add on . We could not afford a contractor so in order to do this without a county building permit we could enclose the porch but you are allowed to heat the area. so we went along with our plan to add on. my husband did the very best he could once it was complete the roof leaked from day one. when it rained it literally poured inside and out . At this very moment there is black plastic covering the roof to help keep it from leaking… At this point we have dealt with a lot of mold and mildew which I know it making my son and myself asthma much worst. Also we have some flooring issues in the kitchen in the corner you can see outside through the cracks . We have either pumbling or some other issues due to some smell that occurs after we take showers. and one of the other major things is that with this old house we don't have heating and cooling in the winter time we an electric furnance that works on occasion sometimes you set it on say 70 and you wake up during the night and it could have dropped down to 60 and when this happens you must flip the breaker in the fuse box and rest it which causes it to run for hours at a time to catch up .We then have to still run a infrared heater in the kitchen and a radiator heater in my daughters room and one in my bedroom since we had to build the room without heat in it. In the summer we have to use 5 air conditioners to keep remotely cool in the house since it is tin. in closing we could really use your help I want my oldest son who suffers from ADHD and ADD to be able to do more in his room then sit in there and exist . I want my children to be able to have friends over to play or have sleep overs without feeling embrassed about where they live. I have a best friend that I met 2 years ago I have never had her over to my home because she has a really nice house and I just really don't. my husband does everything he can to provide for us but we just need the help to make our dreams come true of having a home we can be proud to call our own .. Please,Please help me turn our lives around .

  30. I would like to have an extreme makeover for my son Brad and his wife Amanda. They live in the home that Amanda shared with her grandmother. Amanda bought the home from her grandmother before she passed away. It was built in the 1940's. The home has a lot of sentimental value but is in need of serious improvement for monetary value. Every room needs repair. These kids have worked so hard for years. Amanda put my son through school twice never complaining one time, only thinking of a better future. Now they still have the lofty task of paying back student loans and the costs of a newborn. My grandson is their first and only child, because of their ages and because she feels it is her responsibility to get back to work as soon as possible. She works only part time now.
    Their dream has always been to remodel their home after Brad finished college. That seems uncertain and distant now, but they truly want their home to be somewhere their child will be proud to call home. Financially they have no means to do this anytime in the near future.
    I realize there is no handicap or disease here. Just a responsible couple that have worked hard through a lot of hardships and came out on the other side, still in love and devoted. Please please consider this couple for your extreme home makeover.

  31. After my trip to Columbia,SC to see the first and most precious of my siblings laid to rest I am taking a short recess. This is time to reflect and has allowed me to determine a few definite and a few possibilities about the future and just life in general. I have hence concluded that there is one little item left uncompleted. I, in my prayers, wanted Freddy to live on forever, pull through the hard times just as he had always done. He would then go on being Freddy until another illness would strike and then the circle would begin again. I have several thoughts and approaches and hope that at least one of these will allow us to reach a common denominator for Freddy to live on. With Freddy's House, we can see him the way he was with love, kindness and sharing just the way Freddy did .
    Freddy was born with Down's Syndrome and at the age of 3 our home caught fire and Freddy was a victim. He lived his life with severe burns and hospitalizations for infections and surgeries. From a large family of five other siblings and wonderful parents, we lived our lives protecting him. My parents decided a group home would be best for Freddy and it was. Freddy made so many friends. Freddy was a part of his group home and there, the boys grew in age together. They participated in Special Olympics, worked at sheltered workshops, took trips to Atlanta to see the Braves and many other sites of excitement that provided them with the thrill of life. This made these special people feel included in life. All the organization and hours of planning and diligent efforts of all involved were well appreciated by not only my brother Freddy and the others in the home but all. As Freddy's 5 siblings agreed, we donated family property for the soul purpose of a group home and dedicated to Freddy's name There was no other purpose nor appropriateness for that property. Now the SC Dept. of Disabilities is ready to initiate the project and is seeking assistance. More than a basic home is only proper in my thoughts, please help make this special. Help me acquire a round table for gathering that allows the ability to look at everyone's face and appreciate life's abilities and the disabilities. Bring together those just as in the group home in Ladson and then Charleston that Freddy lived. To see the activities and pleasures that can be given under one roof is amazing. We have the land, now we need Freddy's Home so he can watch the laughter and love from his home above.

  33. My name is Deidra Miller I'm 48 yrs old and I'm raising my two granddaughters ages 4 and 5. I'm on disability because of my neck, back, hips and knees. My house is falling apart around me it's around 100 years old. The electricity needs rewiring and I'm afraid my house is going to catch on fire. There's a well built into the back porch that's falling apart and I'm afraid one of my grand kids or animals will fall in it and there's no way to get them out. The roof is so old I'm afraid it's going to start leaking. It's a very small house. We're also running a animal rescue from our house and the chain link fence needs fixing because the animals are getting out and we are constantly trying to keep them in because I'm afraid that they will get ran over. Words can not express my gratitude if ya'll will pick our family. Thanks and God bless

  37. Hi, I'm not sure if this will work or not but my grandmother deserves to have her house renovated. She took in my two sisters and I when both of my parents passed away and has adopted many of my other family members. She's also housed family members that have a hard time getting on their feet. This is the home I grew up in and grew to love so dearly. It's a warm home but there are THIRTEEN of us living in it. A house is Jamaica, queens NY that has helped and housed neighbors and fed those who were hungry. A woman that is so close to my heart and definitely a woman after Gods own heart. I hope this is my lucky shot to receive this opportunity. I know how unlikely it is, but it doesn't hurt to try. Thank you

  41. Hi,my name is Tabatha Baker. I'm 45 years old. In the past 7 years my home has been destroyed twice by fire. We havel lost everything we own in both of these fires. We still have the land that we raised our children on but we r getting too old to start over for a third time. We are a very close nit family. Now we are forced to rent a small 2 bedroom house. there 7 adults and 2 children living in this 2 bedroom home and there isnt enough room for us all. My husband is a diabled truck driver. He draws a small check each month and i've been injured at work so there isn't enough money coming in to afford a new home to accommadate everyone's needs. My husband is also a minister but the churches around our community are poor and can't afford to help much. i'm not asking for charity. I'm asking for a helping hand to getmy large family a house big enough for everyone to be comfortable. God bless you all and please have mercy and compassion in your hearts to put us on your show. Thank you and have a bless day

  42. My grandma has always taken care of everyone since we were all little kids and first born. She's always there and helping us even if it's her last dime. Although there's no one who returns that favor to her except my mom, my siblings, and me. We pay her bills, help her with food, and anything else she needs. She owns lands in Mississippi that was passed down to her from her parents. She allows her kids to stay in the blue house she has built next to her trailer. Now them they don't keep it paid for and cleaned and everything like it should be. She asked them to pay her rent for living there but she never gets any money or anything from anyone. The blue house is looking bad like it's been abandoned for decades yet people still live there; moving in and out. The family I was born into treats my grandmother so wrong and her heart is so kind and big and caring that she lets them get away with it. My grandma is almost 65 now and wee moving in the big blue house but to me it's not completely live able. There's floors and doors missing, no electricity, water none of the stuff it should have. We're a family of six now my three siblings, my son, my mother, and me. I wanted to surprise them and my grandmother on showing her and them how we could make it liveable. My mother is a single parent and we're all struggling to find a job we help people all the time and all I ask for is to have that favor return one time. We're good people very caring and everything. Even if we shouldn't we still do it. Please contact me and help my family we would all appreciate it very much. This is something I believe we strongly need we watch your shows all the time and we just love them and the great jobs you do. I always said I want to help people the way you do.

  43. Hi. My Name is Maranda. I am engaged and have a 3 month old daughter. We live in a trailer house in a little town. We don't own it yet, but in the next year we will. I live with my fiancé, his little sister, and his parents. Our house is too little. Our halways are barely big enough for one person to get through. My fiancé's mother is disabled along with his father. Our house is being taken over by dust mites and its really unhealthy for a baby. No matter how much we clean, our house doesn't get clean. My 3 month old and I are constantly sick because of the conditions. It's a 3 bedroom house and there just isn't enough room. My fiancés mother is constantly helping people when they can. She is always letting people stay with us that don't have anywhere to go. Our money situation isn't the best, we can barely afford groceries. My fiance works at a local café and only makes $145 a week. And with an infant, it goes fast. We don't ever ask for anything. So please help us. It would mean the absolute world to us. I want a house that my 3 month old can grow up in. Please help us.

  44. Hi! My name is Tracy and my family lives in Wyandotte Michigan. We are in such great need of an extreme home makeover. My husband and I have three children, 15, 13 and 4.
    Our four-year-old, little Addi is s chronically ill . She has many medical issues including,
    Cortical blindness, hearing impaired, seizure disorder, cognitive delay, microcephaly, severe respiratory issues, only one lung, narrowing of her carotid artery, Low muscle tone , apnea, obesity.
    Addie is nonverbal, she doesn't sit, stand, walk, yet brings us so much joy.
    Our current home is not handicap accessible, no ramps or lifts. Addie is 75 pounds in 4 1/2 feet long.
    The wheelchair cannot pick through our hallways so we have to carry her everywhere.
    The bathroom barely fits her in there to shower, she gets bruises on her feet from hitting the faucet.
    There is no way this house can be renovated for our needs.
    Addie is on five machines, I am Addys 100% caregiver, my husband works 14 hours a day seven days a week, to provide , so I can stay home with her.
    We have searched for pre-existing homes and even thought about building but the fact is this is too expensive for us to handle as well as overwhelming.
    When you are caring for a child and your #1 goal is to help them stay well and to breathe, everything else is so challenging.
    We do not have a handicap Van to transport her. She now , hardly gets to leave the house because it's not safe to transport her.
    We NEED THIS SO BAD.
    We LOVE our little angel so much and want to give her a safe environment , with no mold, that she can excel in.
    As a mom, it breaks my heart not to be able to provide my child with a greatly living environment.
    We have tried and tried and we seem to just be hitting a dead end.
    PLEASE, help us achieve a safe environment for our little angel. We feel so blessed that GOD CHOSE us to be the parents of this incredible little girl.
    She will light up a room without saying a word at all.
    When I think of our NEEDS, it seems so impossible for us to achieve , because the need is so HUGE.
    All I keep saying…….. I NEED AND EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER.
    THANKYOU for all your work and efforts.

  45. Would like to put my friend forward for this, her name is holly and she has a 6 year old daughter and has been fighting tooth and nail with the council to make her home accessible for her daughter. Holly has to carry Jamiee who weighs 3 and a half stone up and down the stairs constantly and has since caused holly ongoing back problems.
    Recently the weight was too much and holly fell on the stairs causing her excruciating pain….how long can this to continue to go on for as no one is helping her out. So PLEASE help make her home adapted to Jamiee and her needs so she can get her health back on track and enjoy a full on fun life that she should be with her daughter without the constant pain and daily struggles she has to deal with!

  46. Hi Everyone I am Erin Truter and My husband Doug and I have been together for 16 years. We have 3 biological children 20,14 and 12 and 4 foster children 16, 12, 3 and 1. We also have 4 foster fur babies. We would love for the Extreme Home Makeover Team to come work some magic on our 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath ranch on 3/4ths of an acre. The skies the limit with our home. I love my husband but I did not marry a handyman. We really can't afford to hire someone to complete projects that need to be done. I love our home but it does have some work that needs done, mainly cosmetic. I would really love to have more room for our kids and find a way to add an additional bedroom. My reasons for the addition is because both sets of our foster children have siblings that they are seperated from and if we had additional room then we would be able to keep these families together. It's hard seeing them struggle not being able to be with their siblings when they have lost so much already. Please ABC Help us keep families together. Love the Truter Family!!!

  49. My name is Gabby, my wonderful mother Gina is a single parent and has two other kids besides myself. She hasn't had the best of luck in life. Here is her story. In 1990 she was in college to get her chemistry major all was well until she and her friends went to a concert one night and got hit by a sem. truck in her small car, she suffered a massive stroke, had to learn her ABCs all over again learn to walk on her own, eat on her own.. everything. Therefore she cannot work. A few years later when i was about 4 she got severely electricuted by the breaker box, the docotrs said she should have died. Everyday the smallest things take a huge toll on her like walkingup stairs driving. We now live in a 3 bedroom house, keeping in mind there are four of us, so she made herself a bedroom in the dining room. She has always put her kids before herself no matter what. I just want her to live in peace a nice big one story house that has everything she could need. I hate seeing such a beautiful woman have to suffer this much. I just hope that you can see that she needs help, she needs this weight somwhat lifted off of her. Thats all i really have to say. Thanks, Gabby

  50. Hey guys here's my story. I am a 16 year old girl and I live with my brother Joe, my dad Mike and my mom Nicole. My dad has his own business building engines and selling them, I even help build carburetors with him and I am very good at it. However, his business is not very successful. My mom and brother currently do not have jobs so it is really stressful on my father trying to pay all the bills, and on top of that he has to pay my grandmother's rent and taxes too. I will be completely honest we barely make 10,000 dollars a year. I have asthma pretty bad and our basement has a lot of leaks because it is an older basement and black mold is starting to grow in the walls by my bedroom and it comes up through the vents at night. These last couple years my asthma has gotten pretty sever from it. We also have a few ceiling leaks and there has been a huge hole in our ceiling for about 6 years that we haven't been able to fix. My dad's building also has about 6 or 7 leaks in it and he can barely work out there anymore because all of his stuff is getting ruined. The shingles on the house and garage are falling off and they haven't been replaced in probably 30 years. There are holes in our walls and our toilet and a few of our pipes are broken in the house so we can't use them very often. This past summer and actually the past three winters our electricity has got shut off because my dad can't afford to pay it. And last year my brother and my dad got in a head on crash on dirtbikes and my brother got a compound fracture in his leg which they had to put a metal rod in it which left us with about 50,000 dollars in medical bills and now we can't even get it removed because we don't have a downpayment for it. To be honest, pretty much my whole life I have never been on a vacation so I don't know what that feels like. Please help us with our house Ty, at least if we have that fixed maybe we will be able to get a better headstart on things.

  51. Hello I am a mother of 6, my husband and I have been together for the last 16 years of our lives. We have become homeless. My husband was trying to get us back to Arizona where we were living. Then he was diagnose with AML leukemia, one of the worse cancer you can have back in October of 2014. Doctors said he wouldn't last three weeks but he is stilk alive fighting. Now he is fighting a flesh eating fungus on his arm and even taked about removing his arm. His two brothers took us in, currently in Denver CO. He has been in and out of the hospital. We really need help and I am looking every where for it. Thought I would give this a try. If you want to help a family honestly we need it. No money and no home. Thank you so much for your time.

  52. my husband and I are in our mid sixties, he has been in the hospital 3 times since September of 2014. he has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, AFIB, and stage 3 renal failure. we live in a 14 by 60 mobile home, but it is not wide enough for him to be able to get his power chair through the entire house and get to the bedroom. the bedroom is not suitable for him to be able to get his chair into or into his bed. because of his needs right now we have moved his bed into our living room and I am sleeping in a lift chair so that I can be able to accommodate him throughout the night. we are managing this, but his cardiologists told him on Tuesday that he needed to be in a swimming pool. the doctors preference is a public pool, but my husband is over 400 pounds and he has leg ulcers from cellulitis, this will not allow him the privilege of being in a public pool. if someone could come out and take a look and let us know if they could help it would be greatly appreciated. we have tried Walmart holes in the past and they are not accommodating for his size, no do they come a heated. we would need to be able to put this under some kind of shelter to make the clean-up minimal because we live in the woods. thank you for viewing this and giving it consideration.

  56. Hello my name is Alex Sims my fiance and I were recently given a house that was once her great grandmother's house. We are both twenty years old with low paying jobs and are expecting our first child in September. While we having been living in this home we have been noticing a lot of things that really need to be worked on before the baby arrives and unfortunately we can not come up with the money due to hard times to get these problems fixed. The roof is starting to crack and fall inside of the house the plumbing has never been changed since the house was built nor has the electric work been redone some walls have holes in the from over the years and the floor of the hallway has starting collapsing. The house was built in 1940's and could use a lot of "TLC". I'm not trying to ask for a lot and I may not deserve it like most people but through the Grace of God all I'm asking for is just a little help please.

  57. My brother recently inheretid some property in Bend, Oregon. He promised he would never sell the property… But issues keep arising from an outdated manufactured home…..its on a nice piece of land but the manufactured he has to go.

We both live in other towns but I think we both would actualy like to settle back here where we grew up.

  58. Hello my name is Amy Bruton. My family could use this so badly. My husband and I have been trying to figure out how we could possibly afford to build on. We have 5 children in a 3 bedroom one bath house. 3 of our 5 have adhd and anxiety issues and they need their space. The oldest for have sll been threw divorce. We also lost a baby 4 years ago to SIDS. The kids still have problems dealing with that and of course my husband and I do as well. Its very hard on us financially. Its impossible for me to have a job. With three of the kids in therapy plus regular dr and dentist appointments with 5 children its absolutely necessary for me to be a stay at home mom. My husband works and we make ends meet barely as it is. We both stress and worry so much. I also suffer from anxiety issues as well. Our home is in no way big enough for the 7 of us. Not to mention the repairs it already needs windows floor repairs plus more. Please help us!! Our children need space and deserve better!

  61. Hello , my name is Caitlyn , and no I don’t want this makeover for myself, I want it for a friend. My boyfriends family is very poor . They’ve grown up in a poor environment and have been their whole lives. There are seven people living in a 3 bedroom house with very small rooms, and one bathroom. The whole house is infested with mold , and other bacteria. Marie, 34, is the mother of Robert 16, Reina 12, reanna 9 , and isiah 4. The 9 year old reaunna also has down syndrome. This is not a safe environment for her to live in. My boyfriend Jacob , 20, also lives there. These people barely ever eat because the kitchen is destroyed and the over barely works. This is house is probably 70 years old. The yard is completely over grown. Their mother was living there but recently had to be moved to a relatives because she is diagnosed with schizophrenia and it’s not safe for her there. The back door doesn’t lock and many windows are busted out. The floor is falling through and the plumbing is horrible. The carpet is destroyed and they just can’t afford to redo the house. They are talking about abandoning it but have no where to go. They don’t have heaters, they have to use a portable plug in one. The parents don’t have bed or even a room. The mother, marie , has lost all hope. The daughter with down syndrome is always getting sick and having to go to the hospital. They also cannot afford a car for transportation. I know if this was given to them they would be so ever grateful and it was bring such positive motivations to their lives. Without having the major worry of the health hazard and safety of the house, they could focus on jobs and saving up for a car. Please. I’m begging that you help this family. They need it more than anyone I know and they are such grateful people. I know other people are doing a lot worse, but this would mean the world to me to get this family the help they need to survive

  62. There is a family here in small town Galax, Virginia that suffered a terrible tragedy yesterday, March 5, 2015. A mother and father lost 3 children in a home fire. They also lost everything that they owned. The mom was home at the time. She made it out with one other child unharmed. The loss of these 3 children has devistated our community. The mother, father, and only child left are staying with relatives on the same road that they lost their home on. Our town is small and not full of wealthy people, but the community is donating what they can. Our law enforcement, EMS, and fire department that responded is just devistated. The sadness is felt everywhere we go. All we can do is pray for this family for God to give them strength and comfort in the days to come. I have always loved this show and cried almost every time there was a reveal. While sitting here tonight looking on Facebook at all the prayers and comments, I was thinking about what I could do to help and immediately thought of this show and the caring people that have always shown so much compassion in helping people who had suffered tragedy. People are donating clothing and money, but it will take a lot to rebuild and replace the material items they have lost. If you could help them with the home and furnishings, that would take such a huge burden off of them. Thank you for any consideration. Sincerely, Tyra Sharpe

  64. Hello! My name is Sydney, I am 12 years old, and I live in Adrain, MI. I would like to nominate my BEST FRIEND for an Extreme Home Makeover. She is living with her mom, stepdad, toddler brother, young sister, and 2 dogs in a tiny 2 bedroom house. She shares one of the rooms with her sister, and her mom and stepdad sleep in the other one with her little brother. When you walk in the front door you can bump the door on the kitchen table. She has to walk from her room down to the unfinished basement to get her clothes on because there is NO ROOM Upstairs for her cabinet! She has to share ONE shower with the rest of her family (4 people). They have to put a mat on the shower floor because it is covered in mold. I would really like for her to get chosen for an Extreme Home Makeover because she is a great friend and it would make her life so much easier for her AND for the rest of the family.

    – Sincerely,
    Sydney

  65. Hey, I'm Nykedrea. Im writing to tell about my family house. Its 8 of us living in a 4 bed room house that's very old. My grandma has heart problems so she stay in the hospital alot.

  66. I am sending this application in for a family of 5 who have been through some extreme situations in their lives. When their youngest boy was just a baby, the father was working on a car in the garage. There was a large explosion and the father and baby were both burned severely. That has been 6 yrs ago this month. This family is amazing beyond belief. The father can no longer work cause of injuries from the fire. The mother works tireless hours to keep the family fed and to be able to help provide for her family. Where some families would have fallen apart at the seams, this family has stuck together like glue. They cannot afford to purchase a home so they have to pay rent. Sometimes this is very hard for the family. They have a wonderful support system in helping with the kids and the like. If you would meet the little 6 year old he would melt your heart. As of today he has had his 24th surgery since the fire. This family deserves to have something to call their own to keep their family in and not have to worry about where they have a roof over their heads or not. Please accept this family as one of your makeovers. Thanks in advance for looking at me request

  67. Hi my name is Misty Turnbull. Our 11 year old son was diagnosed with Leukemia on 1-26-2015. The same day he was diagnosed My husband found out he was going to be loosing his job. He bought land and has been trying to get everything ready to build our house on it. There had been a lot of setbacks but this last 2 months have been a terrible blow to us. The apartment we live in causes our son and myself to have allergy headaches because of the old ventilation system that you can actually see the black around the vents. We worry this is causing Kaden more health issues. Also it has electrical issues that have ruined appliances, caused a small fire, left us without power over a weekend and ruined the hot water heater that left us without hot water for the weekend while my husband was at work. We've been so worried about being here. My husband is trying so hard to make something happen with building our home and keeps assuring me we will be ok when he looses his job, but I can tell it is causing him a great deal of stress as he worries about all of us. Our sons leukemia so far has proven to be resistant to the treatment which has pushed him to very high risk. I just want to get him out to our land and in a healthy environment where he can enjoy himself when he can and have a good place to live and call home.

  69. Hello my name is Maribeth and I am 19 years old and would like to nominate my own house for extreme makeover. I live in
    Anchorage, AK and would love the idea of seeing you guys help me and my family. We live in a duplex but we own the whole house. I lived here since I was 3 and we made so much changes because are house was hard to maintain. This house was built in 1978. It's been 37 years since the making of this house and my family and I believe that it won't last any longer. We don't have any money to move to another house. We just spent so much money on maintaining this house. Last year we had a flood in our basement due to a broken pipe. The water on the bottom or the heat down there is causing are floors to mold. We hired a couples guys to help us fix our floors and the pipe in our basement but they did a poor job because we're back at it again. Also, the roof in my moms room is uneven and I'm scared that one day it will fall apart. Another thing is that some of are walls are cracking. Were struggling on payments for the house and me and my older sister are currently jobless so we can't help my mom and my grandma. My grandma decided to go back to work to help pay the damage. I really feel bad and I don't know what to do anymore. I really want to help my family. I hope we can have a chance of living in a better place and I know you guys are the one who can do that. Please consider to remodel my house because I know my family and I cannot live like this until the day the house breaks down. So please help us. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  73. Hello my name is Leslie and I want to nominate my Aunt Missy she is a single mother of 5 boys and a grandmother to 6 followed by three adopted children after their mother passed away from
    Cancer. Her life has never been easy 26 years ago the father of her children drowned in a tragic accident. About 4 years ago her youngest son was in a four wheeling accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury and is now a paraplegic and bound to a wheel chair since then her two dear sons moved back in to help her take care of their brother and the daily challenges that he presents. On February 17 2015 her oldest son passed away working on his shrimp boat. My two cousins were working that night Anthony her son age 29 and William age 17 her adopted son on their shrimp boat a wave came and sank the boat only one life vest was able to float up from the boat Anthony put the life best on our younger cousin and decided to save his life instead of his own. My cousin died as a hero and that is what Missy is to me she has fought from day one to raise those kids on her own and now they live in a small 3 bedroom trailer that my cousin can barley move through in his wheel chair. They purchased the home years ago it was beautiful it had 2 additions on it and was perfect for wheel chair Assisibility however they later found of that the previous owner never received permits and they were forced to tear them down. Anthony was the provider he took care of the house fixed what needed to be fixed paid what needed to be paid and now I want my family to be able to come home and have some sense of security since our lost. He will always be a hero and that's why I would like to nominate my aunt for the one who has stood by her family forever and always and deserves a chance to smile again. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

  74. Hi my name is Dina Serrano, my family and I have been in our home for about a year. It was my husbands childhood home and my late father in law actually did a great job turning a 2 bedroom 1 bath home into a 3 bdrm 2 bath home but in 2013 he passed away suddenly and my husband and I were left to finish what he started. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources. we have 6 children 5 girls, 1 boy and we are a yours, mine, and ours family. We are blended and have a tight squeeze in our home. We have done some projects as we can here and there when money does come in. My dream has always been to give my children the kind of house to be proud of not just for looks,which is nice, but for the love and respect we all have for one another. Please consider our application. Thank you so much.

  75. Hi our names are Bria 22 and Ashley 21 Camper. Our Grandfather Richard Roberts has taken care of us our entire lives, as he has people his entire career as a nurse. The house we live in was built by his hand in Oct. Of 1968, making it one of the first houses in our neighborhood. It is located on a beautifully wooded area with a perfect view of the lake from the back yard. But I'm afraid the house is no longer as beautiful.the carpet has been the same carpet from 1968, the rroof is weak from trees falling on it, the bathroom and kitchen floors are caving.the cabinets are disinegrating,and sadly mold. everything needs upgrading. we have tried to do things ourselves but sadly we are not to handy and with him being 82 he can't really do repairs. He is always helping his family and opening his house to whoever needs.this house is like a safe haven to all of us. Our entire family meets here every year to reconnect with each other and with the house in its condition we are having to find other locations and it is very sad because our memories are here. I,Bria has a newborn son that I want to raise here in this house along side my grandfather and if we can't get help we may all have to say goodbye to our house.
