  1. I'm Marimel and 29 years old and I am engaged to an American guy who has 4 kids. I'm from Philippines and we met online. His.such a wonderful guy. I want to start a family with him, with a new house and He deserves to have a house that would let him forget about his painful past. thank you!

  2. Hi, My name is Kyesha and I am writing on the behalf of my best friend. Her name is Melanie Paradise and she is a single mother of 3. Currently she is disabled and can not provide because of lack of support. For a year I have watched her have unfortunate mishaps. She lives barely paycheck to paycheck. She pays all the bills with one check a month but has nothing left for any repairs for the house she owns. Right now there are broken windows, broken blinds and the house is starting to mildew because of her leaking pipes in the kitchen. Its like walking thru the Pacific Ocean. Her bath tubs are literally about to fall thru the floor if anyone bathes in it. The house caught fire last year so the kitchen is disastrous. The oven does not work anymore and the fridge is hanging by a limb. The washing machine is leaking and the floor needs to be completely destroyed and redone because its beyond repair. If she could work I know she would and if she had more help I would feel comfy however she has many health issues beyond explanation and two of the children has disabilities. I have been saying for months that I am going to put her or try to get her on the show. She really really needs the help. Please help my friend she really needs it.

  3. I would like to tell you about my daughter Teresa Marie Moore she is 31 has 6 great kids 75% of the time but great, she is divorced but of legal substance abuse, and jail of her husband they are living in a 4.5 bedroom house in lake Stevens Washington there are holes in the ceiling because the 50 year roof leaked a lot, I had to build a room in the garage just so that I could be in the same house, well to be honest its my house really but after my wife and uncle passed away 2and 4 years ago I ask them to move in because my daughter was living in a three bedroom duplex, she was on maternity leave for awhile and the bills got way behind and I was working as much OT as I could. The back yard is big but very unkempt, the outside fauset broke so there is no water back there
    She really really needs a start over with this House she has returned back to work and is working long hours but still needs to take care of her kids,

  4. My name is Alycia Cavazos. I live in Houston Tx, I am writing this for my mother and father. Growing up my mother has been really sick, and as of now it's getting worse. She's been like this since I was probably 8 or 9 and now I'm 18. My mom suffers from back and knee problems and a lot of issues dealing with her stomach. Therefore my mother is disabled and she can't work. My father has been a hard working man, working night shifts and over time, making sure we have what we need. But he as well has medical problems but he pushes through it. We have an extreme battle between financial issues. I try to get a job but they won't let me until I finish highschool. My mother gets worse and I worry more and more, I feel as if she's lived a miserable life being cooped up in this house every day because she can't really move around to much. I just really want things to get better, I want her to be happy and live free again. Growing up me and her always would watch your shows. Extreme make over it would mean the world to me if you could come and we could be on your new season. Especially to my mother I want her to atleast have one Amazon thing in her life that she always loved happen to her. Thanks for reading sincerely, Alycia Cavazos

  7. Hello, I am charity and I am writing this not for myself but for a school. I homeschool my children through Southpark academy, this academy has wonderful staff that all volunteer their time for teaching. My oldest daughter plays basketball for their school. The school itself has very poor bathrooms, you actually have to flush the toilets 2-3 times for toilet paperto go down and also the bathrooms always smell. They have a playground that looks like it's going to fall apart at any time. The sidewalks are all uneven and the school section has many many issues. The heating system is not updated so it is costing a lot to run it. The basketball gym is ok, ceiling is messed up the I believe the plumbing runs across the side wall of the gym. They have no idea I am writing this, but I know they would be very excited to have an updated place where students can learn. The kitchen needs many updates and they are using the gym as the cafeteria seating area. Thank you so much for considering this school.

  8. I am actually trying to get help for my mom. She is on a limited income. my father wasn't around so my mothe had to be both mom and dad to us and she did a terrific job.Her house is in dire need of repair. They are talking about condemning her house. she went up north for 6 to 8 months with a family emergency. her oldest daughter was supposed to pay the light bill and keep up the house. instead she destroyed it and didn't pay the light bill.

  9. Greetings,servants of Our Mighty God, My name is Charlene Douthit. I'm writting for one of my dearest client's. her name is Ms. Hazel Langley. She's 84 years young, lives alone, except her cat. She's on oxygen 24-7. Her house is her own,but it is LITERALLY falling down around her. Her income is 700.00 a month, can't fix a home on that income. She often talks about, If Only I Could Fix My House. Everything is wrong you'll have to see it, to believe it. Please help Mrs Langley live out the rest of her Golden Years in a home, she can adore, and be comfortable in. A real porch she can sit on, a real comfortable bed, for a Good Night's Rest I know there's lots for you all to do sooo many to serve.

  15. Dear Extreme makeover my name is tabitha. My mother is about to have surgery and will be disabled for awhile. My father doesn't have very much time left. Our house is in very bad shape. Its moldy and starting to become in worse shape than it has been in. It would be very much appreciated if we could get a new home for our family of seven.

  16. Dear Extreme Makeover Edition,
    I currently stay with my grandparents, my uncle, my cousin, and my 2 kids. I have a 2 year old, a 9 month old and I am 7 months pregnant. We stay in a two bedroom house and we are barely getting by. We have different editions to the house but they are covered with mold and the roof is caving in. Me and my kids were sleeping outside in a different edition of the house but there was no insallation and it would be super hot in the summer and super cold in the winter and my 9 month old kept gettin upper respiratory infections with his bronchitis because of the mold and mildew and on top of that the foundation is falling so bad you can see outside thru the walls. There was leaks in the room we were sleeping in and when it rained the floor would flood. So me and my kids had to start sleeping in the same room and bed with my cousin inside the main house. I am currently unemployed because i am pregnant and its hard to find a job 7 months pregnant..I am only 18 years old and i have no where else to go. Our house is getting terrible. Water doesnt run to our tub nor our bathroom sink. Everybody in the house have to take wash ups and brush their teeth using the kitchen sink. We have a bad infestation problem with rats, snakes,roaches spiders, bed bugs and scabies. We had an incident a couple months back where me and my kids was asleep in bed and i feel something moving in the bed in between me and my 9 month old, at the time he was 2 months old, i moved the covers back and it was a snake. Every since then i sit up at night watching my kids sleep because im scared its going to happen again. Since then we have found 3 snakes in the house. I have to stay here with my kids because i had to leave an abusive relationship. We have no money to make repairs because no one in the household works and my grandparents pay bills with disability checks. We can barely buy diapers and things because nobody in the house works. I feel like such a burden with my kids because my grandparents put their needs and things behind to take care of me and my kids but i had to leave the abusive relationship i was in. We have tried multiple things to repair our house but everytime we patch one thing up something else goes wrong. I just got over depression and my family had to help me get thru that. When i was 3 months pregnant i tried to commit suicide and my cousin had to talk me down from doing it. There are countless thing wrong with our house but i would be all day. Could you all please help us because everyone is getting very stressed out and emotionally drained with our living conditions. I pray every night that you guys would come make our lives better. I have cried and cried because i feel like its my fault my kids have to live like this. I dont know where my baby that i am currently pregnant with is going to sleep because we have no money to buy her anything and me and my other two children already sleep in a full size bed with my cousin. Everyone in the household has a certain way they feel about and they would love to tell you. As i am typing this everyone is cryng and praying on their knees that you guys answer our prayers and make our life better.

  17. dear extreme home makeover and others… im 15 years, i know its strange to see this age of a girl to be commenting but it is all worth it. if i get an answer or not but god has his hands on me and family. my mom has been taking care of 3 kids on her own and for the past 4 months and she cant do much because of money and has no help and she wants alot to be done but just cant do it she barley has enough time to see us. but im thankful that i have her. and i just pray to god youll email me. it will be the greatest blessing from god.

  20. Hey, my name is Makayla and I'm writing in for my parents Audrey and luke. The last year and a half has been very difficult on them as well as me and my sister. On February third my great grandmother past away. This happened four days before my birthday, I was turning eighteen. Following her passing my grandparents came down for my graduation with cloths and other possession of my great grandma so we would have some of her stuff to remember her by. Then the most unexpected thing happened. On July 16th my sisters birthday there was a wheat fire and it spread so fast that it caught our home on fire. My parents where asleep in our converted bus (are home) when the fire got to my mom's employers property. If it wasn't for one of our dogs barking my parents would not have made it out alive. My mom rushed to try and get all of our pets in the car while my dad fought the fire. My mom was able to save all but one of our dogs. Oliver sadly wasn't able to be saved. Along with losing him we lost several other pets. We had ducks, cats, bunnies, a bird, and an aligator. My father also lost the only picture of his father who past away when he was 2. Our family is currently living in separate areas. My sister is living in a trailer at my mom's employers so she can finish her senior year. My mom, dad, my husband, and I are living at a property that we own, the only problem is, is that we can't live in the house. After buying it we found out that the house has no permits so we aren't aloud to live in it technical. We could really use your help because this last year has been very difficult from losing our great grandma, living in separate places, and not really having a place to call home.
    Thank you,
    Makayla Stearns

  21. Dear Extreme Home Makeover Team,
    I'm writing on behalf of one of best friends, Teresa Moore. She is a hard working mother of 6, whose love of humanity is an inspiration to all who meet her. She has been struggling for the last few years to keep her house in one piece. She has contacted local churches, neighbors, and friends for any and all help they can spare. Teresa has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know and could really use your help. The house in need, is shared not only by HER kids, but her dad, and when needed, she opens her doors to help foster teens..offering them a "forever home". She currently has 3 foster kids in her home. Teresa works 2 jobs to keep food on their table and a roof over their heads. This house in seriously in need of some TLC… the constants are leaks, rot, and general falling apart. While this beautiful young mother is constantly in my prayers, I wanted to reach out and wholeheartedly request your help!! Please and a very sincere thank you!! God Bless, Shawna M.

  22. It's probably selfish because I know there are people worse off than we are, but our house has been under construction for about 13 years. There is bare floor than needs finished. Dry wall that needs finished, we have two different sidings outside. One room has tape over a hole in the floor. There are pieces in the floor that have been cut out and pieces out back in that i cover with rugs. The kids constantly get splinters from the hardwood floors that need to be redone. I am holding my window in the front door with tape so it doesn't fall out. We just don't have the money to finish. I am trying to find a job. My husband does all he can. My kids are awesome and they don't complain. I feel so guilty, I know they deserve so much more. My two girls share a room. And I have a son.

  23. Teresa Moore needs your guys help. She is a wonderful persom and a spectacular mother of 6 (ranging from 5months-15). She is currently living with her father, so he doesn't lose the house where he lived with his wife, who died a few years ago.
    Teresa and her father help kids in troubled teens and currently have 3 more teens on top of there 6 kids living with them at the moment. The house they currently live in is in need of some much needed repair. Teresa works 2 jobs just to make ends meet, and would love a warm and comfortable place for her and her kids, as well as the teens she helps.

    I would love for you guys to take a hard look at this entry and help my cousins, they are such nice and loving kids.
    Thank you so much.

  24. Hello Home Makeover,
    My story begins in tears. My mom Elizabeth moved her six siblings from Texas to California in 1968. We stayed in my uncle's rent house a one bedroom for a year.My mom four girls and two boys. One day my uncle told my mom he wanted his home and we had to move. My found a home in Carson which she had purchased with my stepdad who was no longer with us after a few years because he was an acoholic and he died some years later. To make a long story short my mom has always helped single woman get on there feet and their lives are very successful today. Also my mom had a daycare center where she kept inner center and low income children in the home and went as far as keeping the children whose families fell on hard times. The problem now is that my mom's home is in shambles, the plumbling needs serious work,she hasn't used the bathtub in years,the shower is on its last leg,the kitchen sink hasn't work since the late 80's,the back yard has so many weeds in it that it looks like a dessert. The house is being eaten up by termites and it is invaded by cockroachs and mice. The daycare center has closed down,my brother took out loans on her house and she has little to no money at the age of 78 to help herself and to top it off she moved her six to California for a better life and now she is just existing no longer living and extremely depressed as a result of her inability to overcome the fact that one day the only house she has ever known will be gonna with nothing for her and her children and childrens children to come and spend a holiday with her. We haven't had a holiday at mom's home since the late 80's because everyone is embarrassed at the hoarding and delapatation of the house.My mom has always helped her children who needed help some more than others as well as single women with children. I hope you can make my mom's last years on this earth the best years of her life so that we can celebrate a holiday especially Christmas together as a family in our mom'sdream home before the bank tell her she has to move out. We forgive my brother for what he did to our mom,but it's our mom who has the most regrets for what he did.
    Thank you.

  25. I'm writing in regards to my son and grandson. Their names are Charley Gates, jr and Charley Gates, III. My son was in the military for several years, he served two years in Iraq. He has gotten out of the military and completed his bachelors degree in accounting, he works full time and as much as he can overtime to support his family. He has two little boys, his wife is wonderful but is working on her bachelors degree in speech language pathology. There oldest son charley III is handicapped with cerebral palsy and is having seizures now. They need a home that is safe for him to get around in and he is in a wheelchair too. He is getting so big that he is almost to heavy to carry from place to place, in and out of the car too. They are now expecting their third child and can't wait for him to get here in April. Charley III is the sweetest and loving little boy a person could ever meet.. They come from a very large family that lives and adores that little boy. Please, please with ally heart consider them for this makeover. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for your time!!

  26. I'm writing on behalf of a very good friend Teresa Moore.

    She could really use your help. Her mom passed away 4 years ago, and a little over a year ago she and her children moved in with her dad to help him save it from foreclosure. The house was and still is falling apart.

    She was able to save the home from foreclosure but she can't seem to catch a break with all the repairs that still need to be done.

    Teresa is a single mother of 6 children, and works two jobs, so she can support herself and the children. They created a room for for her father within the garage, so that he is close to her family as he still morns the loss of his wife.

    Teresa has a very caring heart and loves to help people in need. I know personally, because she took me in when I was homeless. She gave me the hope that things will get better, and now she & her family are considered my family, and I know that I will always have a place to call home.

    Currently she takes in troubled teens to give them a forever home and hope in their future (currently she has an 18, 15, and 13 year old living with her.) That is a total of 9 children, herself, and her dad.

    No matter how many hard times she goes through, I see that she will not give up on making a beautiful life for her children and those lost teens. I know that all she wants is a home where they all can be safe, comfortable, and where she can continue to serve the broken people that come her way, but she needs some help.

    It would mean so much to her, her children, and her dad if you all helped her to continue to take care of her family, and all the people that pass through her door.

  27. This is not for me but for trenton and Amanda Delp they live in Galax,va and on march 5th there house caught on fire and they not only lost everything they own but they lost 3 of there children age's 7 years old 4 years and 9 months there 5 year old and mom was able to get out and they really need your help in rebuilding there home so would be wonderful if yall could help this family out .thanks for all you do

  28. Extreme Home Makeover,

    Desperate Need Of your help!

    A parametric/firefighter for 30+ years, My father of 53 diagnosed 6 years ago with a disease called MS Multiple Sclerosis)A disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves.
    All my life I have always known him to help others before he helps his self therefore always being in debt. He give and gives till he cannot give no more.
    The reasoning for this, is he deserves a break. He is ablout to loose his house to the mortgage company and be homeless along with his son, and soon to be new grandchild! This disease is getting to him so bad he is unable to do the proper maintenance to the house. The ceiling to one room is gone the floors and falling through. His medical bills for his MS is $6000 a month. Once his doctor says its time for him to retire he wont be able to afford his needed medicine. I Jessica currently live down the street and my father is unable to get out of the house somedays to even come see his grandchild. I wish I could go over there but the house has too many dogs that use the restroom cause his body is unable to take care if the well being of the house from the dogs.

    He felt as if since he cant help people as best as he is able to he thought it was a good idea to shelter animals. But now the dog food is running if 400$ a month and he only makes almost 9$ an hour.

    Please help him, my father has saved so many lives. Now he needs his life saved! He has worked to hard for too many years to be having a live like this.

    Dear Lord,
    Please let Extreme Home Makeover see this cry out for help, and allow them to see what great and selfless man my father is. I dont want to see everything thing he worked to hard for vanish infront of his eyes.
    ….Amen

    Sincerely, Jessica

  29. We need your help. My mom passed away 4 years ago. A little over a year ago my children and I moved into the home her and my dad shared to help him save it. The house was and still is falling apart. I was able to save the home from foreclosure but I can't seem to catch a break in getting it to look and feel like a home with all of the repairs that need to be done.

    I am currently a single mom of 6 children, I work two jobs, created a room for my father within the garage to help keep him close as he still morns the loss of my mom, and I take in troubled teens to give them a forever home and hope in their future (currently there is an 18, 15, and 13 year old). That is a total of 9 children, myself, and my dad.

    No matter how hard times get I will not give up on making a beautiful life for my children and future for these lost teens. I want a home where we can be safe, comfortable, and continue to serve the broken but I need some help.

    Please give us a chance to show you all we can do, all we want to do, and tell you more about our family.

  30. Hello, my name is Alyssa Ramirez and I am writing this on behalf of my mom. The last 5 years has been very rough for my mom personally since we had lost our house back in 2011. We had lost two precious family members,with only 8 months in between, but the truely sad thing was that they were brothers. We had also been robbed a few months after we had lost the second brother. My mom had been been fired due to a misunderstanding after being a loyal employee for 30 years. Just recently my mom and dad split up due to certain circumstances and since my two older sisters had already moved out its just been me and my mom. Even though my dad still helps out financially it doesn't seem like it's enough with all the bills my mom has to pay. Since my mom and I are both diabetic most of the money goes towards paying hospital bills and for our medication. My mom and I share the same dream to have a house with at least 5-6 rooms so that our close immediate family can live together without having to worry about what the cost would be to get a house that big. We are currently living in a 2 small bedroom house with an equally small living room and kitchen. If we could end up on the new season of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition it would mean the world to us because we had always enjoyed watching the show together.

  31. Dear Extreme Makeover,
    We live in a 3bedroom house and its my husband,myself and we have 4 kids of our own still living at home 3 boys and one girl also my niece and her fiancee live with us and have for two years also my nieces little girl lives with us too. She has lived here since she was about 6 months old. Right now our three boys all share a room and their ages are 21,19 and 11. Our daughter is 16 and shares a room with our niece and her fiancee. And then in our room is us of course and our nieces little girl shares a room with us. Thats where she has slept since she first come to stay with us. Its very crowded here with all the people but we make due. Our house we live in now we are buying thru owner finance and is an older home. We have helped out several teenagers when they have struggled and had no where else to go. We try and volunteer alot of our time to the community but also stay quite busy ourselves. My husband works and i stay home to take care of our nieces little girl. Just recently we had a guy come out to help remodel one of the bathrooms due to a leak and he said we had alot of problems underneath due to old pipes. We have really bad windows that create huge electric bills but cant afford to put new ones in. We have other issues in our house too that i can explain if we get chosen. Please Extreme Makeover please consider our family for a home makeover. Thanks

  32. Hi…My name is Marla and I am writing on behalf of my mom and dad. They live in a house that was built in the 1800s. My parent's are in their late 60s and early 70s and have worked all their lives to give to me and my sister plus our friends. My mom has fibromyalgia, diabetes and other illnesses going on. She uses a cane and wheelchair to get around. My parent's are getting older and unable to fix it. I live with them and try to help them. The house has cracks in the walls, a roof that is falling in on the front porch and certain area's of the house,and big holes in the kitchen floor. Financially it has been rough as they are on fixed income and I am a children's author in which I am trying to get promotion out but because it is so expensive to do with my publisher and finances are short, it makes it rough.I also have a torn muscle in my hip and am not eligible for the disability. I really wanted to help them. To give them a new home they don't have to worry about repairing would be a dream come true.
    Thanks-
    Marla Gourley

  37. Dear Extreme Home Makeover Team,
    My fiance's family has been through a lot in the past 10 years. It started when my fiance's girlfriend and the mother of his two sons was in a car accident with the children that took her life. The children were in and out of the hospital for years and the youngest still has issues related to the accident and will be undergoing another surgery in the coming months to try and help some ongoing medical issues from the accident. The youngest was in the hospital for a year after the accident healing from a severe brain ingury. Through this all my fiance's parents were always there for him and the boys. My fiance gave his parents custody of his children after the accident to give them a home. His Mom started to have medical issues due to misdiagnosis and using the wrong medications to try and correct the problems. She had to have open heart surgery and lost her eye due to the complications. Then three years ago they were dealt another crushing blow when their daughter died. She had a seizure that took her life and the life of their granddaughter that was only two weeks away from being born. The doctors tried to save the baby but were unable to save her. His parents then started to raise her 2 children who were very young. They now care for their 4 grandchildren in a small 3 bedroom home. Through the years his Mom's health has started to fail. In September 2014 she had her right leg amputated above the knee and was unable to transfer on her own. His dad has been through more than most men have with this. His mom is unable to transfer and needs his help to do most activities. Their house was not built with a wheelchair in mind. Their bathroom doorway is too narrow for her chair to get into it. She went with bed baths at first and as she started to get stronger they eventually figured how to carry and transfer her into the shower. She has been through a lot in this process and even going through the pain and phantom pains she always has been a trooper and gotten by and made do with what they had. She's relied heavily on her oldest two grandsons to help out with the youngest and the household chores. The oldest are 15 and 16 and take care of the 6 and 4 year old along with doing the laundry and cleaning and cooking. His Dad holds down a full time job along with numerous part time Jobs and is on the go from the time he gets up till he goes to bed. He is one person and does what 3 normal people do in a day. His Mom is currently in the hospital as I write this slated to have another surgery. This time to amputate her left leg. Their house is not helpful for the medical problems that face the family. Can you please help this wonderful family that I am marring into? They are wonderful people and just need a little help.
    Thank you,
    Heather Schmidt

  40. Hi. My name is Kourtney Renouf, and i live in Newfoundland Canada. I am 15 years old and the reason is think my family deserves a new home, is because my dad was suppose to fix it up, until he passed away in August 2014. I was swimming with a group of my friends when I got took out by the huge waves. He tried to save me from drowning but, drowned him self. The foundation in my house, is starting to crack, and the roof is steady leaking. There are 4 people in my house and I think they deserve a house they feel happy in. It would mean a lot to me and my family if you can make our dream come true, and fix our house, the way my dad had planned.
    Thank you so much xo.

  42. Dear Extreme Makeover,
    My Nam is Karri. I am disabled with RA and other health issues. I live in a 3 bedroom manufactured home in Corvallis, Oregon. My husband works very hard at the local hospital and does his very best to take care of our family. We have a daughter that is living with us since her husband abandoned her. We bought this home with my disability it cost $5000.00. I have no kitchen cupboards,no pantry for food. I use a shelf that I got free from him depot. I use a wheel chair when I'm not able to walk and can no get into any of the bathrooms so I crawl or sit on walker and try to wheel my self in. The back bathroom is not accessible with walker or wheel chair and sink is being held up by a 2×4. We have spots on the floor duct taped as there are soft spots in our floors. We have a fridge that leaks so a towel is in front of it at all times. I cook with microwave, toaster, toaster oven, along with a electro skillet, grill, and a stove that we bought. We have cadet heating so our electric bill is $400.00-$500.00 a month. I live literally in my bedroom everyday. We only have one vehicle and my husband uses it for work. We cannot afford to fix anything on our home.We have mold in the third room which we use as a catch all. Because of my health conditions, bills, and trying to buy food to survive we can't afford repairs. It is my dream to one day have floors, kitchen cupboards, heat, and a home that I can get around in easily. I hope you consider my family. Thank you God Bless!

  44. Dear Extreme Makeover,
    Hi my name is Amanda Wilcox I am 33 years old. I am engaged to the love of my life and we have five wonderful kids four boys and 1 girl. I love this show and I see how happy you've made so many people and how you all changed their lives. We'll I think my story is a little different we don't have our own home we live in public housing provided by the state but I don't think that this is good enough for my children because its s many issues with things and when they send someone to fix it they do a pity job I'm unemployed my fiancé is the only one that works and him and my kids are my world and if anyone deserves it its them. This apartment is to small my daughter have to share a room with her two youngest brothers which is age 1 and 2. We struggle my fiancé works hard everyday to provide for us and I hate that I can't help like I need to he comes home tired and in pain he sometimes don't eat and he's a big man. I look for jobs and it's like no one will hire me. When all the bills are paid there is barely enough money to do anything else. I'm crying just typin this so I'm sorry if anything is misspelled. It's so hard to buy clothes and shoes for five kids and ourselves and pay bills off one income. But we are survivors and we have so much faith in God. My kids always ask me when are we going to move from out here. My daughter always taking about wanting her own room its sad to me and I always have to go in the room away from them and pray and cry I don't want them to see me cry or to see our struggle but its hard at times. It will put the biggest smile on their faces to know that we can move from out of this box and into something to call our own. I want this for them I always put them first so if you could please find it in your hearts to help us God will surely bless you. thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to read my letter.
    Sincerely,
    Amanda Wilcox

  47. My grandparents have spent their lives taking care of everyone else. My grandfather had a heart attack and stroke back in 2000 and December of 2014 went into cardiac arrest. He is currently recovering at home but is bedridden and the house that they live in is not equipped to deal with his medical needs. It's a three bedroom house and he has one room and my grandma has another and my dad sleeps in the third room. On the weekends and during the summer his kids stay here as well and there's usually three or four sleeping in the living room which is not very big at all. My grandfather can use a wheelchair but the house is not big enough for him to get around in it and he is usually stuck in one spot in the living room. I would love if you guys could come out and help accommodate the house to better suit his needs.

  50. To extreme makeover team, I am a single mother of 4 kids ranging from 8-2 yrs old! I have one child that's got developmental delays so there fore I stay home so I can take him to all his doctor appointments he needs in Kansas city. With staying home I'm of course not making any money, the oly money I receive is child support wich is not very much! We will in a 3 bedroom home and with the kids getting older they require more room! I am writing to see if maybe we would be a gifted family to have a bigger home! I went to school to do nails and with the little boy needing to do all the doctor appointments and heart surgery I have not been able to go take my boards and get my license and also redo a shop I bought that needs a lot of work! My kids and I would be more than greatful to have a bigger house and a fenced in play area for them to play outside! Hope to hear from you soon!

  51. Hello my name is Chelsey. I am doing this for a close friend, her name is Ronda M. She loves your show. She always watches it. She is a wonderful woman. and i think she deserves a new home. She is a Manager at the Select inn in Grafton North Dakota. Shes always busy running the motel. but her house is falling appart. she needs your help! and she would absolutely love it! She has two kids living with her two boys. and Her Husband also. and she took me into her home without knowing me. but she knew i was going through a hard time and an abusive relationship so she took me in. Im not the first person she took in shes took in many of people and helped them get on their feet. When a person is in need she would take the shirt off her back just so that person has one. shes a loving person and i REALLY think she deserves this. so if you could make it happen? that would be AWESOME! Thanks Chelsey Walsh.

  52. Well here is my story my husband works all the time and it seams like we can never get a head. We are a close family there are 7 people that lives in my home and one on the way. My son and his two children. And my daughter and her husband and baby on the way. It's only a three bedroom home so he is very tight space for everyone. So not much room for when my other son and his family come's to visit when he is not deployed. Some is always on couch or air mattress but that fine at least my family is together. My daughter and her husband will always live with us. They both receive SSI. So they are dependented on us. I also take care of two of my grandchildren while my son work's away with my husband. There are no job's around where we live. So we don't get to very much. And that's hard for time to time.
    So it would be nice to have something better and bigger to enjoy while we where together.

  58. dear,TY
    I know they are people out there who are doing worst off than my family and I and that is why I try to help people every chance I get even if its my last. My name is Brittany Carter, I am 25 years old. I am married to a wonderful man name Terrence Carter and we have 3 beautiful children together. Faith 3, Malachi 4, and Madison 7months. we are currently living with my brother in law in an 8 bedroom rental house along with 8 other people. my husband and I and our children all share one room and one bed ( futon ). the house floors are not safe so Madison has not mastered crawling. the wood floors has holes and huge splinters. are living condition is not the worst but its not the safest. I cry almost every day and ask God Why us? all I ever wanted was a safe home for myself and my children. to me it seems like we have the worst of luck. our job came to a stop so its hard for us to apply for a home that we can afford. we struggle every day trying to just "get by" for the past 3 years we having been living from place to place . every time we think we made the right choice or decision our hopes of better days are shot right back down. we attend church and my husband is on ministries. everyone ask how can I help people so much when I don't get the help in return. I just know God has a plan. I don't know if you and your team is apart of that plan but I sure hope so. ty I have been watching your show for years and each person you help has been very deserving. I can only pray that you can help my family. if not for me for my babies that mean the world to me.

  59. Dear home makeover
    When I was in 2nd trade my 2 parents adopted me and gave me the life I'm living. In 3rd grade my dad lost his job working for Enron so we moved across the country to Florida to be closer to family to help us financially. A year later we came back to NH and my dad was working for a sheetmetal company and my mom was an Lna. Over the years my dad had been through a few different job while my mom was working the same one. She became lna of the year a few different times during her 16 years of working at concord hospital. When I was in 7th grade my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. While going through treatment my mom got up every morning and went to work. Every single day. After a while of working the treatments got so bad she couldn't go to work anymore. We were broke. My dad was still working but there was 5 of us. We moved out of town into a small house. My mom finally was able to work again. Just as we thought everything was better the house we were told they were selling the house we were renting and had 30 days. We ended up in a worse house and lived there for 4 years. No heat barely any water just awful conditions. In 2011 my parents bought a house not much better than the last. No heat a well the house is falling apart as my parents are trying to rebuild it. Its a mess and my parents are in over their head. My mom lost her job in 2012 after falling at work and tearing ligaments in her foot and and they told her to not come back. My dad works 6 days a week to try to keep afloat and I'm watching them drown. If I could do one thing to thank my parents for everything they have done for me even when we were broke this would be it. This would take all the stress out of their lives. My parents never ask for anything which is why they deserve this so much. My dad supports 10 people and a house all on his pay check. They deserve a dream home.

Please let me know if this is an option. We need to have a ramp/porch put in to access our home asap. He is getting bigger and heavier, and killing my back.

We really need the help of the extreme makeover team. There is no way we can do this on our own. I work overtime every week just to barely get buy. I have nothing else to put in this home to fix it. We need to start feeling better but we can't until the home is fixed. We are out of funds and have no family to turn to. Please help us if you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this

  66. Hello. I am writing on behalf of a friend, Melanie Crutchley. As a child she lost her mother at the age of 12. She was passed around to foster home after foster home. As an adult she decided to return the favor and open her home to foster children. Over the years she has fostered several children and adopted 3. Two of the children she adopted were failure to thrive and one has autism and microcephaly, and one has cerebral palsy and cleft lip and pallet. She had Emily since she was 2 and she is now 17. Chloe has been with her since she was 6 weeks and is now 15. Melanie lives on a farm without any support. Her husband was incarcerated due to a discrepancy within the family that created alot of heartache. She owns 35 acres and a home that is now falling apart. This past winter she was forced to go without water for 18 days due to the pipes freezing and busting underneath the house. The ductwork under the house is falling down and her house did not go over 60 degrees for the majority of the winter. Melanie has four horses and several birds. These animals are used for therapeutic reasons for the children. The barn is falling apart and she is in financial distress trying to keep up with everything going wrong. I truly believe that if anyone is deserving enough for this, She is. She has dedicated her life to helping children that have gone through the same dilemmas in life she has gone through.

  67. I am writing on behalf of my mom and step dad. In 1992 my mom and dad built their dream home after 20 years of marriage. My dad only lived there until he passed away of cancer in 1996. Somewhere along the way she met Travis and found love again. Travis is so caring for my mom and they do everything together. He thinks of me as his daughter and my children as his grandchildren. Because my mom was so worried about a dog that came up on day and decided to call her house home she has now lost her home and all her belongings. She had placed a heat lamp outside on the porch to keep this dog warm and we believe this was the cause of the fire. My mom had many antiques, and material things that where my dads that cant be replaced. She just brought home some of her moms things that passed away in December. My mom is on disability and my step-dad was going to retire in three short months. He is not even sure if he will be able to now. The home was a three story log cabin with many antiques. I am just asking if there was any way you could get their home built back quickly. Thankfully they have insurance. I know they might not meet the criteria for your show. THey are the nicest people and go out of their way to take care of others. Any animal that is dropped out or comes to my moms house ends up being their pet. Thank you very much for your time and I would love to send you some before and after pictures. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless!

  71. First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Arnone. This story is not about me but, my best friend in the whole world. The Baker Family in Wichita, KS. You see Tena Baker my soul sister and her family have had some difficult times as any family would. The reason for asking to be considered for Extreme make over is much more than the difficult times. It's been dealt a most heart breaking hand that God could give a family. I know that all families have bad times. Let me explain, Tena has 4 kids. Sarah whom is 24 I believe and was born with a mental disorder, Christina 22a vibrant young woman wanting to be a nurse, Aaron 12 also born with a mental disorder, very intelligent, extremely shy. Last but, not least is Joey 9. Now like I said they have had ups and downs like any family would. About 2 weeks ago Sarah contracted what we thought was the normal everyday flu. turned into kidney stones than a bladder retention. The trouble was that Sarah started not being able to walk. Many doctors did tests and everything was coming back negative. Bill Baker the father and of course the rest of the family were getting frustrated and being a Great father that Bill is. He said " Hey guys something is not right here! What are we missing?" So he got the doctors at the hospital and her family doctor to start talking. Finally they got a neurologist to check out Sarah. Turns out that Sarah has what is called GBS. What is GBS you ask? This is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system.The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In many instances the symmetrical weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until certain muscles cannot be used at all and, when severe, the person is almost totally paralyzed. Sarah is currently in Wesley Hospital and has been in ICU almost 8 days now. The length of stay there is unknown and recently it spread to her lungs. This disorder can take months to years to heal. She has been on a breather since about 3 days from today 03/10/2015. The Bakers have a home that is not enough for the entire family She has the family of 6 and is also taking care of her Father in law after her mother passed several years ago. Tena and Bill Baker are the most caring, loving, and giving people I could have ever met in my life. They are not aware that I am submitting their story to Extreme Make over. I love all of them so much. They call me Uncle Scott. It's hard to share this story as it's overwhelming to the heart and soul. Today, they tested Sarah for pneumonia. That was possibly contracted from the breathing and feeding tubes. Her white blood count is at 27.5. Which is pretty high. If not selected I would understand as I'm sure you have so many stories that could or would make great shows. However, I ask that you send many many prayers. Once again Please consider this story.

  75. Hi Ty, my name is Jodee Ortiz. I am a single mom of four children. I live in Monticello, Indiana. I live in the same trailer I grew up in. This is where I call home. When I was 12 years old my dad passed away from a blood vessel rupturing in his stomach, we watched him lay in a hospital bed in Fort Wayne for 3 weeks with no life to his body. He finally passed away and I was so devastated. I quit school and wasnt here for my mom and siblings. At 16, I came back home.At 19 I had my first daughter the sunlight in my moms eyes. When I turned 24 I was pregnant with my second child and when I was 6 months pregnant I went to wake up my mom on Christmas Eve and she had passed away unexpectedly in her sleep, at that time I was completely lost.After that I had 2 more children and we live here in the trailer my parents owned and we also own the property. In 2011 me and my children suffered another loss. Their father got deported.My children suffered extremely bad. Now we just have each other. Their dad can not come back for 20 years. The only thing I would like to do for my children is to give them a place they can call their home and have their own bedroom. I go to school full time and live on disability so life is very hard, but my children understand and know it will one day be okay. I sent an application a year or two ago with only pictures because I have no camera but got no response. I just want my children who are my life to have a home and a bedroom they can call their own.Please know how important this is to me and my children.This is a chance in a lifetime.Ty and his crew are gods angels and give people a place to call home when we cant do it on our own and cant afford it. I have lived in this trailer all my life and I dont want my children to have to continue to live in a trailer thats falling apart and crowded sharing rooms.
