  1. Hi my name is Leslie. I am 35 years old. My husband and I bought our home because it was within our budget. We thought it would be the best decision to do so at the time. We need to fall in love with this house as it has become the main reason of what I call our "economic downfall" and had been the primary reason why we are now an hour away from our family and friends. We live in Santa Clarita. The house is nearly 1400 square feet, it is extremely outdated, the pool is falling apart and will need to be fixed soon, and most importantly the house is "dark" – the darkness in the house adds to our depression and loneliness as no one visit us not even our family. We have a 13 month old baby who will need extra storage space. Our little office will be converted into my mom's bedroom in a month as she is moving in with us to become our primary babysitter. There is not enough space and it feels so cluttered and we could definitely use some help. We were thinking of borrowing money from the bank to upgrade and fix the pool but my husband was let go from his job. He is now seeking employment but the last time he landed his previous temp job, it took him almost a year to get placed by an agency. I am now the main bread and butter of the family. I am trying to stay positive and would like to think that life is not that bad but I am honestly beginning to think that our life would be different if we did not buy this old house. I am not only depressed by the lack of social/family interactions we have but I am also economically affected as I put gas every days since my drive is 2-3 hours a day considering traffic. My husband decided to leave his job with 401K in Orange County since moving to Santa Clarita. Since then he has not found a job to actually help me out with the bills; moreover, he was recently let go. The house has caused has offered chain of events. I think the much needed upgrade would help our family regain happiness. Please help us.

  3. Hi my name is sara. Let me begin with this my mom and my brother are both disabled. My mom she has disformed feet that won't let her stand very well. She had tried to get jobs but she can not. She bought a house 3 yeas ago, hoping she can start her life again and make a new chapter but she got stuck in a house that needs work. The owners hid a bunch of problems with the house. We have had the washer almost catch on fire and water spill out. We have had flooding around us and moisture problems with the house. Mold is a result in this. Me and my mom moved out of our bedrooms and are now sleeping in the dinning room. We have septic tank problems and sump pump problems and it's a mess. She gets child support and disability money only, and some help from our granny. After she pays bills she's left with nothing. We have talked to our insurance company and they won't help us with our house or anything matter of fact. My mom and I have tried so hard so 6 years to live in a house suitable for us but it never works. We can't fix the house because of income problems so we are stuck sleeping in the dinning room and constantly being sick because of the moisture and mold plus we have cats that we love and we don't won't them to be sick either. We could go live with our granny but me and my brother are trying to finish school where we are. We have been utterly searching for help and this is our only chance. I beg of you to consider us. We really need it. It's been hard for 6 years we just want hope that we can have a home that can be ours someday.

  4. My name is Jeannene. I was scammed into this place in Enfield Maine. I am in desperate need of lots of work done to my home. My fiance and I are working all the time and barley surviving to pay our bills. We have 4 kids he has 2 and I have 2. He has one with Asburgers and one with ADHD. I also have one with Asburgers and one with ADHD. We moved into a trailer that had an addition built onto it. When we moved in, we thought it was a rent to own trailer with 8 acres of land. We paid for the trailer and started making payments just to find out that the person selling it to us didn't actually own it.Then with out my knowledge the person who sold me the trailer sold it again to the person who owned the land. He did have a mortgage for the land but the money we gave him never went to the mortgage payment so it ended up getting foreclosed on. Then we had to buy it again.Then we found out it was 10 acres of land not 8. When we looked at the place it was half decent. I knew we had to fix the wall in the kitchen. but i figured it was an easy fix. so we bought it. Well we never came to look at the place while it was raining.for the next few weeks we had a dry spell and it didn't rain. so it was all good. we moved all our stuff in. we were happy.we were in for about a week then we went to work and the nightmare began. The trailer is falling apart, and the addition needs to be ripped down and fixed. The person who sold us the trailer covered up all the holes in the walls with pine board so it looked pretty but he never insulated the exterior walls. so it all has to come down. last week we had to take a drill and put a hole in our kitchen ceiling so that the water would only leak in 1 place instead of all over. The addition that is built on was supposed to be a bedroom and a living room to make it a 4 bedroom place, BUT. The addition build on leaks so bad that when it rains outside it rains harder inside. When we first moved in we put all our bedroom furniture into the bedroom it was nice. Then it started to rain for the first time while we were at work. my memory foam bed became a great big sponge. and when we got home. it was soaked all the way through and onto the floor. so the floor got warped the ceiling warped more so it could leak more. When we ripped up the rug and all of the wall coverings we found there was little to no insulation in the walls and the rafters are not nailed or screwed into anything they are just resting on 4x4s and the particle board holding up the shingles is the only thing holding the roof together. So because we have limited funds we decided that we were going to cover the roof with a tarp till the winter is over. Then we got a bad wind storm. The tarp we had on the roof worked like a great big parachute picked up the whole trailer and moved it about 3 inches. now the addition is about to collapse. we need to fix the plumbing and the gas lines. We need new cabinets, all the floors are warped because of the rain. the roof still leaks only worse than ever. It has just been one nightmare after the next ever since we moved in here Can you please help us. We would greatly appreciate it. Or even if you cant help can you send me in the right direction to someone who can. Anyone to buy lumber and concrete and plumbers. basically this place needs a wrecking ball and a new house or something put here. Thanks for reading. desperately seeking help.

  7. Good morning! My husband deserves to have our house renovated. He works 2-3 jobs a week to provide for us. I had to go out of work when pregnant with my daughter and be put on permanent bed rest. I did not receive a pay check at all. My husband went and worked a full time job and 2 part time jobs to try and make up the difference. Unfortunately it wasn't enough and we have fallen behind. My daughter was born very sick and needed to stay in the NICU. I then lost my job because they refused to accommodate helping me with changing my hours or allowing me to work from home in order to care for my sick daughter. Something that other employees had been allowed. My husband has worked 84 hours a week since my daughter was 2 weeks old. He barely sees her. Our home is in desperate need of repairs and with our situation we haven't been able to keep up with things. Money is a big issue. Medical bills and house hold bills needed to fix big things in the house have swallowed us. The HVAC system was leaking gas and needed to be changed out and then we had pipes burst that led to our front stoop caving in. All of which homeowners insurance refused to cover. I'm writing to you because my husband needs a break. He needs something positive to come from all of his hard work. If anyone deserves this it's him. He's the hardest working man I know and he gives to everyone else first. When he heard of a little girl with cancer who had the same name as our daughter he started donating a piece of his pay check to her, so she could get the treatment she needed. He doesn't even know this child. If you choose anyone, please choose him! Manny Ruela. Thank you!

  8. Hello! We are the DeVore family from Nashville TN. We have a fixer-upper home and haven't had the opportunity to fix 'er up due to financial restraints, baby's health issues, one income, and most recently a job lay-off. Would be more than happy to be able to have help fixing up our old home.

  9. Hello. I am Abigail and I am 13 years old. My parents divorced last summer. My mom doesn't live around here. At this point, my father does not have enough to pay for anything. His house is tilting and floods every year. I really want him to have everything he needs. Please consider this email.

  10. My name is Natalie and the reason my family should be apart of extreme makeover home edition because my aunt can't get around the house because of her knee, and my sister just had a baby so the baby needs his own room, and since there is only five bedrooms I do not have my own room so I have to sleep on the couch, plus with my uncle's surgery we cannot afford to renovate the house right now

  11. Hello,

    I am asking ABC family extreme makeover to help my dad how is a navy veteran, and wonderful dad who is struggling that always put his kids first and I wanted to help him, his home is falling apart and can't keep up as he is getting older and lives retirement check to check and I think this would be amazing, after so many surgeries and being put in debt to survive I I though why not ask and let the world knows he is a deserving father who deserves a handicap no stairs home. Over the years since 2000 dad had full knee replacement in both knees, elbow surgery and recently open heart surgery that was a quaqruple byss surgery, I believe that there are other deserving families out there as well but I have our story and thought just a simple ask to ABC extreme home edition help put a smile on my dads outdate falling apart home so he can live out his retirement years stress free.. I have pictures as well and am hoping someone can help.

    Thank you,
    And god bless to all the other wonderful and deserving families,

    Michael Cairo,
    Michigan

  12. Hi there TyPennington
    I like watching your shows so does my 3 year old daughter does likes to say move that bus. I would love it if you can come down to south Africa to do our house up. I would like my own 3 bedroom place with my daughter and my mom a granny flats that my mom always wants a bath on legs. A place for my brother. But we all live in one house and would love it to look how you guys do it. Nice and fancy but it will take us probably 20 years to get what we want and I would like to do it before my mom gets older. Please could you come and do us a big big favour. As I would pray for you to come do our house for us. My mom has looked after me and my brother for 27 years by her self and I'm really greatful for what she has done. I thought I would be the same as my mom with my daughter but at least she has a father who does care unlike my father did for me and my brother. So I'm very great full for my mom. Please could you help us. As we not rich people we medium we work to keep us living and try to pay our bills.
    We battle a bit but we always try make a plan with the little we have. Please Ty come to SA and do our house please I very appreciated it you can do it for us and we've never been away out of the country. Would like to one day but cost way too much to go over and and some money to go on holiday.

    Kind Regards

  19. Dear ABC
    My name is Tina and I recently married the love of my life and high school sweet hear Jamie. But Unfortunatly my amazing loving, selfless husband Jamie was diagnosed with a stage IV rare small intestinal Andocarsinoma cAncer only a couple months after we married. I was six months pregnant high risk at the time. But I knew I had to be strong bc our lives would be changed forever. My husband now has completed 12 rounds of intense chemotherapy and still the cAncer isn't all gone. We consider it a win that he made it though together with hope, positivity, faith, and stronger as a family. We lost all we had but we still have a healthy now 3 month old baby 1 year old daughter and 8 year old daughter. It has been and long road for our family. We lost our home, barly had Christmas, our car is falling to prices and my husband can't do his job as a tower hand any longer and never will be of the chemo has left his hand with perminet nurapathy. We are blessed daily with love of the ones around us and the prayers and kindness we have that surround us. But the reason I am applying is bc my dad has taken our entire family in. It was the house I grew up in and needs a lot of work. My dad has worked 33 years at a factory and raised us 4 kids with full costudy. Our mom passed away now and he is a single guys now. He has even moved out of his own house to make room for my family to live in his house he pays the bills for. This man has helped anyone and everyone in our town of Zeeland. He has always put his family first and even others. His dream was to own a Harly motorcycle but raising is became his priority. This house we all live in needs much work and and entire new sewer work and is made of brick in the walls and a new furnace. These are just a few of the much needed repairs that our family endure in the only place we have to live that this man works 7 days a week for almost 33 years to provide. Many thing have been taken from our family but the dream of having a safe home that we can raise our 3 amazing girls in would be like a dream to our family. Thank you for even considering maybe if only our family. 🙂

  27. Please consider The Gartin Family of Columbus Ohio. My friend Sarah Gartin is a stay-at-home Mom of 4 kids-Kindergarten, 2nd grade 5th grade and 9th grade. Two years ago their 5th grader became very ill and was hospitalized several times. They could not figure out what was making him so sick. He was out of school for months. Then one day Sarah discovered mold on the wall behind her washer. They found out that the mold was actually all in the walls and floors. Insurance would cover only what they could "see." They replaced the floors and part of the walls and their son was better. Recently he started to get very ill again. They have discovered that the mold is back and in a big way. Insurance will again cover what they can see but the professionals say that it will continue to grow back and they will be in a constant process of construction . They had to give the house back to the bank. They cannot sell a house with mold. No my friend, Sarah, is searching for an apartment to rent that will keep her kids in the schools they attend. They have nothing they can do because originally when they bought the house it was inspected by a relative. So they are looking for an apartment now but time is running out. Their son that has been ill is staying with Sarah's Mom in the next town but everyone has offered our homes up for him as well. This is an impossible situation for this family. Sarah's husband is a chef and possibly the nicest guy I have ever met. I have lived in the mid-west for 7 years and am about to move with my husbands job and wish only that when I leave I know they are okay. Sarah and her family have been so welcoming to us since we moved to Ohio. Sarah's husband has shown me what true mid-western hospitality is all about. He has shared recipes with our family and even cooked us dinner one night. I have never tasted meatloaf and mashed potatoes the way he makes them here. Sarah's kids are as nice as they come. They are polite and kind to my family. They are the easiest family to get to know and be around. They are truly wonderful people. They have left a lasting impression on us as to what the "Heart" of America is all about. Meanwhile all this has been going on and Sarah has been sick. She has been going to the dr. weekly and trying to get better but with this situation she has to cut back on going. She has terrible arthritis all over her body and goes for shots. They are expensive and of course Sarah puts herself aside to help her son be better and goes out daily to search for a new place for them to live. I am worried for my friend and her family and I just wish there was someone who could help them re-do their home and keep the kids in the schools they attend. Please consider helping the Gartin's. They are the kindest, nicest, most big-hearted family I know and I am proud they are my friends. I hope you will consider this amazing family from Ohio.

  28. Hello my name is Dustin Norris I'm contacting you not for myself but for a pastor I know his name is David Isabel and he has done so much for so many ppl and never ask for anything in return he has a bad heart and stays in out of the hospital but even with that he still gets up and goes out and helps people regardless his condition so it would be a blessing to him and his family if y'all could help I would love to surprise him with this thank you

  29. My name is Seth Glass, and the past few years have been extremely hard on my family and for starters my Father has been threw so much pain these past 5 years. He was a police officer for 20 years, unfortunately while he was trading with other officers another officer tore his rotator cuff. And he has had 4 surgery, we also have a house in Rangly Colorado that our past renters have trashed and my father can't go and fix it because he has no money or the time for that. We lost our old house in Delta Colorado and we are living with his Mother but in December her husband and my grandpa passed away of cancer and a few days later my aunt died. And my grandmas house has problems the floor was poorly done and I believe my dad and grandma deserve this. They have helped so many people and expect nothing in return and if I can do this one thing for them I would sure be great full I don't have the tools to make a video or anything so if you need to contact me you can call me thank you for your time read this. I'm looking forward to hear from you.

    Guys I'm taking a huge chance as I'm a major fan of your show & the miracles you wonderful people bestow on others that are less fortunate. My name is Nelia Bezuidenhout & I'm from South Africa. I would really appreciate you to help me, my husband Hennie was put onto disability pension due to not being able to perform his duties as a result of becoming very ill when his stomach burst & lost part of his left lung. Hennie was a fitter & turner. I was employed at that stage & kept the home going as best I could but have since been re-trenched & am still unemployed. Hennie is mutch better now & tries very hard to bring money in to support his family by doing Kitchen makeovers & building cupboards but we have a huge mortgage & have fallen behind with the payments! We are so afraid of loosing our home as we have invested so much money & time in our home. It would mean the world to us if you could help us if at all possible as I don't know if you guys have ever done something like this overseas. I look forward to your reply & keep up performing all those wonderful miracles & giving so many renewed hope, its truly wonderful watching you guys do what you do & brings me to tears every time I watch one of your shows. God Bless, warmest regards, Nelia Bezuidenhout

  36. Hello my name is Samuel Lyons and when I was 18 my stepmother kicked me out of the house after my father had a stroke. My girlfriends family took me in and took care of me. Now for the last 5 years I've been taking care of them and it's only gotten harder since they lost their house 2 years ago and had to move on the remaining property they had in an unfinished trailer house if you could help me and them we would be so grateful.

  37. I am applying for the consideration of a friend and her family to have a home built for them. They have no home at this present time. They are staying at families home. They lost their house to a flood in 2014. They also lost many of their possessions, their vehicles, but most tragically lost their animals who drowned during the horrible unforeseen flood. This family has a daughter who is handicap. She requires physical assistance as well as medical needs for personal bathroom assess ability. She is nine years old. This family tries to help all families in their area who have a need of assistance with disabilities. The husband, who was a vet, lost his job and is sense trying to deal with it emotionally. The mother home schools her daughter which is hard while being in limbo of a non home based environment. They are a very deserving family. With the assistance of having a house built for them to call their home, they could provide care for their daughter which would enhance her medical and educational needs. It would also allow them to repair their marriage by making them non stressed daily. Furthermore, they can began to repair their future by building a community around them that will allow them to live richer lives! Please feel free to contact me for information or needed documentation to proceed to help this family in their most crucial time of need! Our community would love to be a part in helping this dream become reality!

  39. Hi. My name is Evermore Miller (21 years old) and I am posting this for my family. I am the 3rd oldest in the household out of 12 kids. Most of us are adopted by Monica and Troy Miller. My parents don't know I am posting this because I want to be a blessing. Anyways a little about our story is that last year my family's house was foreclosed due to Bank of America and some other issues. We had to move and are now renting a house. It's a nice house but it's not a home. If you know what I mean. God has been good to us on so many levels such as to my siblings and I. Wether we are blood related or not we are a family. My family does own land but there is a trailer that we rent to a family in our church which includes a disabled man with tumors in his brain and a wife and two kids. My family is a very giving family. And we would just like to have a place again to call our home. My mom and dad are the best thing that has happened in my life and I just want to give a little something back. But I obviously can't do it by myself. I still live at home and help when I'm not working. So I am reaching out and just humbly asking for your help. Thanks 🙂

  49. Dear Extreme Makeover.
    I finally heard my grandson, Kaden say my name for the first time recently “Meme”. While that is not surprising for a child, Kaden is almost six years old and can’t talk. He’s autistic! Kaden’s mom and dad work very hard with jobs that don’t pay much. They have limited resources to get Kaden the help he needs. Thank heavens for the Shriners who have stepped in to pay for 30 minutes of speech therapy two days each week, in which we are grateful but sadly Kaden needs more. In addition to the challenges this family has with an autistic child, their 1950’s home is in need of major repairs. The air conditioning unit doesn’t work which can be brutal in Florida. The plumbing is leaking and has caused the cabinets to swell in their outdated kitchen. My fear is that mold will start to grow and more problems will happen. The roof is leaking and rooms are unfinished. I visualize a wonderful place for Kaden to learn and play with the dinosaur theme that he loves so much. If a prayer could be answered it would be that Kaden could get the speech therapy he needs and he and his family would have a safe and happy home to go to at the end of each day. Sincerely, Mary D'Aoust

  50. Hi, I'm doing this for my fAmily, I don't have a extreme sad story but there's got to be a way, miricale, a blessing to help us. My 3 year old has really bad asthma already since he was born he has had breathing issues. We bought a house to better our family almost 3 years ago and it seems like it's gottten worse since then. Our house was built in the 1930s its settling and very old. We recently had a huge water leak! Mold everywhere…. That didn't help. We did get help cleaning it up, but still have the breathing issues, my husband is the provider for our family. I know it gets stressful for him. Our windows are shot,, our walls are cracking from the house settling and it has a very strong musky smell. We have tried everything to help this house.. We have three children ages 7,6,3 this community we live in is small and great! I dislike the thought of letting this house go as our kids school is perfect for them. I seen this site and thought it was worth a shot! Thank you for reading! Good luck everyone.

  51. Dear Ty,

    I'm writing you on behalf of my best friend, Michael. My husband and I grew up with Michael, and we consider him our brother. Michael has four children, of whom three live with him. It's been three years since he had to have one leg amputated due to a work-related accident. Since then, he's fallen into a deep depression, gained alot of weight, and has had a really tough time getting around in his home because it is not wheelchair accessible nor suitable for a disabled person (his home is a two-floor home). Needless to say, all areas of his life have been affected… simple things such as getting in and out of the shower, cooking, trying to go into his garage, and not being able to move around outside his home in the winter when it snows (to clear his driveway etc). We would love it if you would consider Michael for an extreme home makeover and make his home wheelchair accessible and suitable for a disabled person, perhaps build him some type of hoist that he could use to lift himself up to get in and out of his tub, among other things (whatever you think can be useful for him). He is in dire need of help. I can be reached via email. Thank you so much in advance and may God bless you!

  52. I am writing in desperate need of help for my mother in law who is in her mid 60's and her husband in his 60's as well and is blind. These two have a house in Indiana that is just falling apart. The house leaks,it has bug problems,the furnace dont work any more. My mother in law tries to work 2 jobs just to support them and she can barely walk sometimes. We are a very close family but not in distance she lives 11 hours away. I worry and pray for them alot. Now I dont have alot of money but I would work for you until I could pay it off if I had to. She lives in Albion IN. Thanks for your time.

Now the work is on hold due to no fund and we could not complete it. I've been asked frequently by my husband and children when will they get to move to their house… or when will it be completed. Please Mr Tye if these is possible I can restore hope to my family's face and every time I pray Lord I need a miracle… everytime we watch your program on the TV I can see in my children's face… I wish my room is like that.. and that and the list goes on… My family don't want to miss your TV series every week and deep inside me it hurts because seeing our house left incomplete… well I just don't know what to do anymore…Currently we are leaving in a company house owned by Vatukoula Gold Mines and I just don't know may be soon we will be asked to vacate this house because my husband is in his retiring age… I Hope Extreme Makeover Home Edition… Mr Ty and your team will come to our rescue… WE NEED YOUR HELP..

  55. Hello, my name is Roxanne Brown. Me and my husband need a blessing. We have 4 children… 1 girl and 3 boys.
    Our 3 boys are autistic. We don't have any help from our family and to have autistic children is very challenging… EVERYDAY. The house is soooo old that the electrical box that supples us with lights in the house is all fuses!!! Not switches. No central heat and air… We have old wall heaters and one cooler in the small living room. So it's 70 degrees in the living room and in the back half of the house it's 95 degrees. Every part of the house needs to be redone and touched by the professionals at extreme home edition. I'm praying for this miracle for my family. Please, please, PLEASE… Chose me and my family. Thank you so much… The Brown Family

  56. Dear Ty I'm writing you guys for a family friend who recently lost everything he owned in a house fire a few weeks ago. He has medical issues that prevent him from being able to work so he doesn't really have a income his brothers who live else where send him money every month to live off of. He grew up here so he doesn't want to really leave this area. He is a great person always trying to help others out even when he has nothing to really give. My family and my mother try our best to help him out with food , cloths, even opening our door to him for a shower. He isn't one to really want to ask for help so we offer our help to him. Only thing that didn't burn down was a small shed that's probably only 8×8 that he is sleeping in until he is able to get a new home. Its really sad seeing him so lost but he still tries to be in good spirit. I have pictures of his lot and were his home was and what he is now staying in I can send you guys. Please if you can come help him out he needs a home to live in instead of a shed.
    Sincerely, Belinda

  60. My name is Victoria Herrington and I am the cousin to Dawn Granger Rager. On April 1,2015 Dawn Rager, 24years old, was killed in a 18 wheeler accident and left behind 5 small children, ages 2-9. Dawn's mom and dad Melissa and Edward Granger are left to raise their 5 grandchildren in a house that is too small for all 7 of them. Melissa and Edward live on a fixed income due to Edward being on disability and unable to work. They live in a 2 bedroom house with one bath. Having lost her daughter, Melissa (Nana to her nieces and nephews)wants to raise all her grandchildren in the same house. So, I'm reaching out to see if there is anyway that someone could help make this dream possible. Melissa and Edward Granger live in Kentwood Louisiana and have no idea about what we are trying to do for them. Having a house big enough to raise her grandchildren and watch her daughters legacy live on would mean the world to them. Thank you for taking time to read our story!

  61. Hello extreme makeover. My name is shayla bunyan. I am 23 years old and I am a new mom of a 2 month old baby girl named Remi. She was born with a broken clavicle and erbs palsy do to hospital mistakes. This has been an extreme hardship on me with taking her to physical therapy and doctors appointments. Although I don't mind doing it, I would do anything for my daughter. I would love to give her the life I never had as a child including a dream home. I would me so happy to give her a home to grow up in and just be herself when the world gets tough. We have been fortunate enough to have remi's fathers grandfather let us live on his property rent free. The only problem is how much fixing up it needs. As a single mom im not able to do this. It is partially livable for now but is an extreme hazard for my daughter. I looks like a shed with all the paint cans tools saws and other home renovating tools that I just don't have the means to complete. Thank you for your time Extreme Home Makeover.

My dad and mom don't need that living condition because their old and their health isn't good anymore. My dad had had his kidney removed and now they want him on dialysis and he refuses and my mom has recently keep a cold and went to the Doctor and now she has to take allergy shots, because of the mold. but they have their pride they will not leave their home, because it's all they have.Now to make it worse a company that makes horse trailers moved to the property next to them and built their land up, so now when it rains all the flow of the water goes to their yard and its very sloppy you cant get in and out for days and it's the worse thing to park on the hiway and try to walk downhill to the house in the mud.

  66. Hi, my name is Krystle, I'm 32 and live in Valdosta, Ga. My husband and I met back in June 2011 and were married the following September. We moved into his grandfathers old farmhouse, which is approximately 100 yrs old. The foundation is not level, there are holes in the roof so it leaks when it rains, which I'm sure is also causing mold to grow, there is no central heating or air, electrical and plumbing definitely need updating. I, myself don't really mind it, I'm just glad I have a roof over my head, my concern is when we have children, its only a 2 bedroom house and the spare bedroom is the one with the big hole in the ceiling. We want kids more than anything, that's my biggest dream in life, to be a mom. But we are also having difficulties accomplishing that. A month after my 30th birthday I went to the doctor to see why I wasn't conceiving since we've been married over a yr/half with no luck, come to find out I had stage 3 pre-cervical cancer. Within a year I had 2 surgeries to remove chunks from my cervix, after the 2nd one I was called back into the drs office with horrifying news, the pre-cancer had progressed into cancer and was spreading to my uterus and was told I would need a hysterectomy. My world just crashed, it was very disheartening! But after many, many prayers, I traveled to Atlanta, Game and met the Dr who would perform my surgery and after hearing my story of how young I was and that I wanted children he could run some test on my last biopsy to see if the cancer had passed a certain point or not, that if it hadn't there was a type of surgery called a trachelectomy, where they just take the cervix and leave the uterus so I could still carry a child, a month later the results were in, a fraction of a centimeter more and I would have had to get the hysterectomy but thanks to God I didn't, only problem was that Dr in Atlanta never performed this kind of surgery, only around 100 have been performed in the U.S. so I was on another hunt for a Dr and finally found one in Gainesville, Ga, on November 2014 the trachelectomy was performed robotically, 5 days later results were in and all the cancer was removed and everything went great, however 5 months later and still no luck. The Dr who performed the surgery said I could get pregnant naturally but my gynecologist here says I need in vitro to get pregnant, which is about $15,000 that WE don't have, so I'm still praying and waiting on our miracle baby, but in the meantime we really want to have a nice and safe house to bring our baby home to, and it would be an answered prayer from God if you guys could help us in any way, I watch the show all the time and there's never an episode that I don't cry, what y'all do for people and their families is so awesome and really touches my heart, and I just appreciate that I can put my story out there and maybe touch someone else's life! I love you all, you are AMAZING!! 🙂 God Bless!!

  67. I am writing for my sister and her family. 1 year ago they woke up to the smell of smoke and they only had time to get the kids out of the house. They lost everything and including their cat. They have been living with her mother-in-law for the last 17 months. Prior to the house fire her husband lost his job as a coal minor due to mines shut down. He then got hired on at the railroads. They started rebuilding. They got it started with footings and minor stuff done. Then the RR had a layoff. He had to stop production of the house. He got called back months later. And they started working on the home loan. He then went through a layoff again. So now they can not get the home loan to get the house built. My sister took her daughter to the movies last week and had a confertation with a few teenagers. It then went viral. Because the other mom took the internet to find her. She has been on the local news, talk shows and last Thursday they all went to New York to be on Inside Edition. My sister had a heart attack due to a heart defect we didn't know she had. She had to have a procedure done on her heart. She is also having to pass a kidney stone and all of this happened last week while all of the stuff from the movie theater kids. And appearing on the TV shows. Her family has gone through so much lately. They also lost their health insurance because of his job. She is a self employed pet groomer that is on bed rest for 2 weeks because of the surgery because of the kidney stone. She had 2 surgeries in a week. I also believe that her health problems are due to her stress level of not knowing what they are gonna do. I would just love for them to get the help to build their house. They have 3 kids and having to live with family is really hard. Please help me help them. We lived really poor as a kid and I don't want them to struggle any more than they should have to. Thank you.

  68. I am sharing this story to ask you help for a dear friend of mine Summer and Moragan Williams this is their story . On March 2nd 2015 at 10:15pm our world came to a stand still. Murriel Elizabeth Cartwright (Liz), at 28 years old, was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. Just a few days later, on March 5, they informed Liz that there was nothing that can be done to fight the cancer and that she had just days to weeks left because the cancer had spread throughout her entire body.
    Liz had been to the doctors 3 times previously with complaints and falsely diagnosed with shoulder strain, respiratory infection and uti. After a few days of not being able to get out of bed, her dad, Gary,took her again to the emergency room where the cancer was discovered. For those few short weeks, we were all able to be with Liz and we never left her side and cared for her around the clock at her fathers rental home. In those last days; we celebrated her dad and nieces birthday, family photos and she was re-baptized.
    She died March 22, 2015 at 7:50 am at home with loved ones gathered around her.
    She left behind 3 young children, 8,7 &3 of age. She was a single mom who also helped take care of her dad, the fathers are not involved in the children's lives nor do they help support them.
    This is where our story begins…
    Liz requested that her dad raise the children as long as he could and then for her brother and I to care for the children. However, her dad has had a 4 strokes within the last year, in the beginning stages of dementia and Alzheimer's, with a multitude of other health concerns. He is trying to care for these 3 children on ssi disability. Then came my question, who's going to help Gary when his health deteriorates, who's going to help him with the kids right now? Out of that simple question a dream and a prayer was born!

    To build a home for 6 children and three adult that will also accommodate a handicap bedroom and bathroom for Liz's father.

    My husband and I have three young children ourselves, ages 6,5 & 19 months. I am currently a nursing student at OSU-IT, which requires a lot of commitment and dedication. My husband makes it all work somehow on his income alone but it has been a struggle. Five years ago we purchased 20 acres in Bristow Ok using the money from the sale of my husbands fathers home, who passed away in 2005. We live in a small 2 bedroom mobile home currently that won't accommodate 6 children or another adult but we have plenty of room to build a home of this size but not the financial means. We will be looking at a few home plans in the coming week from a builder who builds group homes for children locally to get an idea of what will be needed and to set some ideas in motion along with costs.

  69. My name is Kevin Boyd an I am married with four children I would love to have extreame home makeover to build my home.i was laid off from my mining job in June,2013 it was tough but my wife an I were managing, one night nov25, 2013 our home caught on fire at 3am with all of us in it. My wife Becky woke me up hearing noise I went to check to discover the kitchen burning uncontrollably. I yelled for her to get out with our son as I went to get our daughters.we all got out by gods grace not one hair burned or a strach. The home was a total lose. We moved in with my mom an stepdad an are still here now. We have tried to rebuild but to many things have got in the way. I got a job working at the railroad in mar, 2014 upon doing this we applied for construction loan an was pre approved, we bought permits an went to work. We poured the footings an laid block ourselves. 4days before closing the loan I was laid off again. This stopped everything . I got another job an was called back to the railroad in July. I went to work an called bank to restart this loan they said wait 6months an reapply. I did this an was once again pre-approved. As the process of the loan got to underwriting in mar2015 I was laid off once again. This was devastating to my wife an kids. Sometime in late mar,2015my wife made national news when she corrected two teenage girls at a theater in alabama. A world wind followed with her doing interviews all over. On April 1, 2015 after doing a interview. She came home sick thinking she was having panik attacks an it got worse, my twelve year old daughter had to call 911 to her. She got to the hospital with my daughters assistance to find out she had a heart attack. She had heart surgery on the 9th day of April, an was released on the 11th. She came home for Easter
    Sunday an was doing good when she started running a fever on Wednesday night. She took meds until Thursday when we could no longer control it. We took her back to hospital an she was rushed back into surgery to clean out infection that had started to shutdown her kidney. She is at the house trying to recover now but we live with my mom an stepdad. Myself an my wife an three kids live in two bedrooms. This does make things tight but we are thankful for having a roof over our heads. If anyone in the world deserves a new home it would be my wife an kids. They have never said a word about our situation an have always stayed positive. Can you please consider
    My family for a home thank you Kevin boyd

  71. I am writing for my son and daughter-in-law. My son, John, is a Firefighter for Hunter Army Airfield and is also an active National Guardsman. He also works a third job at a local racetrack as a fireman. He and Brandy married in June 2013. Brandy is a school teacher and coach. They have a 4 month old son. They bought their dream home in November 2013 but have definitely outgrown it now. They have been trying to figure out how to afford to renovate their home to make it more livable and are definitely struggling with it! John is being deployed in July 2015. I wish I had the money to help them with what they need but sadly do not. I know that there are a lot of needy people looking for help that are deserving, but I feel that these two civil servants are deserving as well. Please help make their dreams come true! Thank you for your time and consideration!!

  74. My brother and sister are in diear need their house is falling apart the ceiling is crumbling down on them. They need severe help. My brother Corey had surgery on his back causing him to loose work. My nephew Curren sleeps in a room with rain water coming down the walls. The living room is completely broke down they had to put plastic on the ceiling to protect them from any water that comes in and from the plaster falling from the ceiling. They put buckets under the plastic to catch the water that drains off the plastic. I fear for them because the roof can cave in at anytime. My sister Tara has been working to try and keep up with the bills. They have no money to put into the house. if I have extra money I help them to get what they need but its not enough to get it safe again. In my eyes the house is going to fall down soon and they will be homeless my nephew will be taken away. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help them to fix the house they are in need of a miracle. Please help my brother mainly for my nephew they truly need it. I will greatly appreciate it.
