  1. I am nominating my daughter Allison Rose Helmin age8 now was diagnosed with Anaplastic Astrocytoma grade III, inoperable and terminal brain cancer located on both sides of her thalamus on October 14th, 2014. She has undergone 6 weeks of radiation, completed on December 24, 2014. Six weeks later she had an MRI, they were uncertain if her tumor grew or if it was swellling and advised us to call Hospice because her tumor did not respond well to treatment and it was only a matter time.
    In February of 2015 we were able to get Allison a visit with the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis Mn for a second opinion because we were not going to take "NO" for an answer. Currently she is on Chemotherapy and taking an Herbal tonic. We are getting her treatment of Chemotherapy at the University of MN which is hours away from our home. We traveled out of the United States into Mexico to recieve her Herbal Tonic treatment. She gets about 5 pills every meal so that's 3x daily everyday. We are hoping she gets better on this new treatment. We were instructed to go all organic, non GMO diet. So far we have been on this new diet since January 20th, 2016. We had to clean out our pantry and start all over. We used to grow our own beef, chicken, garden so we canned alot of veggies but since it had GMO's or if the meat wasnt grass fed we had to get rid of it. Currently she has to avoid pork, tomatoes, vinegar and alcohol. We have had to relearn our selves to eat clean and to know where to get certain foods at.. Our shops we weekly attend is Trader Joes and Whole Foods, which is an hour away from our home. We will need to travel to Mexico every 5 months for an check up but she will keep seeing her normal Pediatric doctor every other week. We travel at least 2-3 weekly for doctor appointment.
    Currently she is using a wheelchair, walker and awaiting to get her Pediatric bike so she can get around outside. She has a lot of weakness that she only has 15% of movement on her right side that makes it hard to for to eat, drink, walk, she can't run, or just get threw a normal day like a normal child. She wears a brace on her right foot to help her walk. The doctor said that they believe her loss in weakness is from radiation. She struggles but hardly ever complains. We believe in god and pray daily for strength and for good health. She had two younger sisters ages, 3 and 4 so it makes it challenging when Im (her mother) is in need to help Allison walk to wherever we need to go so a lot of the time I try to do my errands when Allison is in school but there is only 3 hour time block to do so, so again it makes it challenging. She goes to school 2, half days weekly. She has an IEP in school and a paraprofessional to help her while attending. She is in Physical and Occupational Therapy weekly, has weekly doctor appointments, goes to school 2 days week half days with 2 days of tutoring weekly.
    As any parent with a child that has an illness understands and knows you will never stop believing nor quit and never give up hope. She has overcome so many obsticles in her life and has beaten the odds already. She is such a blessing to us, we as parents look up to her daily. She is smart, caring, loving, couragous, out-going, and spunky little girl and we admire how strong she is, definetly a fighter to no end. She is such an inspiration to us words can not explain how greatful to call her our own.
    We are applying because our home is 1200 square feet for a house of 5 people. We have 2 room which the younger girls share a 9×12 room and Allison has her own room which is 9×6 and parents share a room 12×14. We have one bathroom, open floor plan but it doenst work for her at all. A lot of the times she falls, or even crawls around to get where she needs to go. Im a stay a home mom so my days get really tough to the point I ask myself many questions on how to make this better but I come up with nothing. Her younger sister are very needy and I feel they feel left out because we give Allison more attention than them. We live in the country and own 10 acres. Our house is small and has its up and downs but Allison's disability has been making it very challenging for her to get around the house. Its too small to use a wheel chair and she does use the walker but I need to be next to her all times, she is a fall risk. Maybe making our home disability accessable would give allison benefits to getting around easier and having a bathroom with one of those tubs that is like a jet that you see in nursing homes. We have no idea her time span but we were told she had 6 months to live with out treatment and few years with treatment. All we do is help her make the best out of anything. Singing helps her get threw a lot of it i think. I hope you consider us because it would melt my heart knowing Allison would have the best gift ever having a home that she can be herself and be comfortable in. Thank you.

  2. Hi.
    I live in South Africa.I am in need to finish my house which I started building 3 years ago. The house is still unfinish. I have paid building contractors and all my money is finish. I cannot make loans at the bank to complete my house because I'm blacklisted. PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP.

  3. My family and I moved to Texas from Michigan to be near my wife's father for the first time in her life since she was a little girl. We got here in the summer of 2011. Last year in September her dads wife, my wife's step mom passed away from cancer. Then just a month later her dad was shot and killed. We want to move into her dads house but the only problem is that it's just a one bedroom. We were wanting to move my parents down here to move into our home we have now, which is on the same piece of land that her dads house sits. We are in the process of trying to take care of all of this property and trying to get more family down here to be with us but every time we turn around it seems so overwhelming. Dealing with unheartfealt banks and the governments has not really left any time to properly grieve. I would love to see my wife and our 3 children happy.

  4. I am writing on behalf of one of the best friends anyone could ask for Ree Soto.
    Ree was involved in a very bad car wreck back in 1985 which crushed her entire left side of her body and caused very bad brain damage to where she has short term memory loss so everyday life is a challenge for her.
    through her strong determination of getting her life back to somewhat of a normal life to be independent once more her only sibling had a few strokes before anyone knew what was happening to him and he wound up needing somewhere to live.
    Ree took him in even though she was barely able to take care of herself along with people taking advantage of her love for animals that left her having to take care of 5 dogs.
    during all this her health and her brothers health has gotten worse to the point neither one can walk a straight line and it breaks my heart to watch her in such pain trying to stand to feed the dogs and letting them in and out and feeding her brother almost does her in and it takes her the rest of the evening to recoup from it. She lives like this in a 2 bedroom trailer with a rotting roof with mold and leaking pipes and not able to afford to have any of it repaired. She did manage to get someone over to put a large grey tarp over the part of roof with a hole in it to try and save her bedroom from caving in.
    I would love to see her face if someone would show up at her door and offer to replace her roof and give her a bathroom she is able to really use.
    Her one dream she has is to be able to one day have a walk in tub to be able to soak her sore and tired body in.
    It would be a dream come true for such a loving and giving lady.
    thanks for reading about my girl friend Ree in Egg Harbor Twp of New Jersey

  5. I am writing this on behalf of my wonderful girlfriend who is one of the best friend anyone could ask for. She has such a humble spirit and never wants to be a bother to anyone. Back in 1985 Ree Soto was in a very bad car wreck that almost took her life. It crush the whole left side of her body and caused brain damage that has taken her all these years for her to get to a point in life that she can live somewhat a normal life even through all her pain and her short term memory loss.
    During all her therapy and trying to cope with learning to deal with her pain her only sibling had a stroke and had no place to go so she took him in along with her 5 dogs that people added to her family because they knew how kind hearted and compassionate she is for animals so here she is not able to stand up straight from the pain she lives with from her wreck trying to tend to her very sick brother and neither of them able to afford to get the correct treatment they need and barely able to tend to the 5 dogs that she loves dearly and it breaks my heart watching her day in and day out living in this 2 bedroom trailer that has a rotted roof with mold and no way to pay anyone to work on it.
    Leaky pipes, awful bathroom that neither one of them are able to bathe in…its shower room only for them, she tells me her dream is to one day have one of those walk in tubs to soak her old tired and painful bones in.We finally found someone to put this huge grey tarp over one side of the roof to save her bedroom from caving in from the rot but the wind seems to be able to blow so hard at times here in Egg Harbor Twp New Jersey that it cause the tarp to rip and tear and is now in need of being replaced. Now another month or 2 of waiting to get someone to replace the tarp for her. Shes such a giving person and I would love to see for something good to happen in her life for her and her brother. Shes always looking for grants to hope to find help to replace her roof but never any luck, id love to see her precious face if she was chosen to have something like this to happen for her.

  6. I am writing to tell the truth about my family home in Baltimore Maryland. Almost 30 yrs ago my father passed away from a heart attack at forty-one before his forty-second birthday. The house which my parents purchased to keep me out of the projects was paid for and my mother received his pension because he was a Baltimore City police officer. Since then my mother and sister leaved there and manage to make some improvements but with contractors who did not do good work. Which over the years left the house with mortgage payments that was more than my mother could handle so she asked me to take over the house which caused my sister to have harsh feelings leading to my incarceration and release to write you. A lot of work to fix the house which was occupied by a hoarder which has been cleaned but after everything was done I lost my job and was left with the family home for my three sons to enjoy to see their grandmother and play but with no income to restore to the days of when I lived there as a boy.

  7. Hello,

    I am writing on behalf of my fiance and our family of 5. We have 4 boys and 1 girl. Age ranges from 1-13.

    My fiance and I got together 4 years ago. When I met her she had been through a horrible marriage in which she was both mentally and physically abused by her ex busband.

    She was forced to leave her ex husband with her 3 kids who were very young at the time. She wound up moving into a home that has been in the family for years. It's the same house her grandmother grew up in.

    The house has an old electrical system that has not been updated because it would cost way to much to replace. Back when the house was built they didn't put instalation between the siding and the frame of the house. The house doesn't even sit on a concrete foundation. There is no central heating and air as well.

    The house has been settling which makes the flooring in the home unleveled. The first floor of the house is so unleveled that we have started to put things underneath the furniture in order for it to be leveled out.

    Since my fiance and I have been together I have been the sole provider for our family. She is not able to work due to her having major stress and aniexty problems from her previous mariage. We have no help from the ex husband financially. I myself pay support for my kids and handle all the bills in the house.

    I try to earn extra money. I have started my own music production company. It started off well. However, basically all my equipment failed. I have been down for the last two months unable to make any music. Therefore unable to generate the extra cash flow.

    I am very worried about what my next move is going to be in regards to our living situation. We can't afford to move and we can't afford to do the repairs needed for the home. Our electric and gass bills are high due to improper installation. We use a floor heater and electric heaters to warm the house in the winter and window units to cool the house in the summer.

    There are other concerns that I wish to keep private at this time. However, the situation is also very serious. Serious to the point that we might be homeless in a matter of time.

    I'm not trying to give a sob story, my family is just in need of some serious help.We try to keep it together the best we can. The situation continues to get harder.

    Please consider my family for the chance of getting the help we need.

    Thank you for taking the time to read our post.

  11. Hello makeover team, I commented once before about my illness and my hardworking single selfless mother, and she told me more problems about our house. We need a new roof and we don't have a heating and air system all of these things we if course can't afford some more things I should mention is that I have Such a small room and bed that my feet stick off and I am using a back pillow for a pillow and sometimes don't have a blanket so I would appreciate it greatly if you could chose my family if four struggling financially to have a nice thing for once please keep in mind that I am 13 years old and I am doing this for my mother because she is selfless and dosent want to ask for things even though she needs this

  12. I'm 21 years old, engaged with a 1 year old son. I have a house that was left to me and my sisters after my grandpa passed. I have talk to each one of them and due to the condition of the home no one wants it. It is the only thing that we have left from our parents that we lost with my oldest sister being 9 and youngest being 2 and grandparents a few short years later. I have talk to them and asked that when the youngest turns 18 if I can please have the house for my family and so we can keep it in the family. They have agreed and now I just need help making it livable.

  13. Hello, my name is Caleb Hoffman I am doing this for my mother who is currently working so many hours of overtime in her job, that she comes home to our little house and just wants to sleep, she ha a little regular sided bedroom with 12 year old wedding furniture and a box bed. But this is not just for her I have an unknown disiese in my eyes that consist of uveitis eyeritis and papalatitus. Thus has Ben going on for a long time causing inflammation and extreme pain in my left eye but it now happens in my head, I have had two MRI and they found a 13 mm sist in my pineal gland I'm my brain and I have not told my mother about my application because I wanted to surprise her. I think what she realy needs us something nice. Besides she ha spent so much money in my brain problems. Another thing that has happend with us, is after my father left my mom has Ben moving houses for the past ten years and now we found a little one in orangevale that is not much and grows mild mold spots so if you decide not to chose my family for your show at least we can hang on a little bit. Thank you

  14. I'm wanting to nominate a family that lives in Liberty Missouri. This couple took in my three nephews into their home 9 years ago and without even knowing me took me, my daughter, my premature son and husband into their home here 6 months ago. This is Penny and Randy Cundiff. They inherited their home from Randy's mom who inherited from her father. They have five acres of land that is all trees and a very small three bedroom home that is in need of remodeling. This couple has helped so many people. They are worried about helping others then them selves. They've had many of people come and stay and get back on their feet and I would like some way that I can give back for all she has done for me and my family. Randy had to have a liver transplant a couple of years ago and hasn't been able to work. And he hasn't been able to work on the house any either. Penny is working two jobs, one of which she cares for a 10 year old boy who has cerebral palsy and the other she is a paraprofessional at a school working with kids with special needs. I hope you can consider them for an extreme makeover of their house.
    Thank you. Anna Dickens.

  15. Hello, I hope that this actually reaches someone. My husband and have been married for just over 2 years. I fell in love with his hometown and his family! They opened their arms and took me into their family for 3 years before he proposed. His parents bought their house as a fixer upper and have renovated and re changed everything, added on, and done what their hearts have always wanted with this house. They have it paid off and we're ready to rechange AGAIN! About 5 months before we got married my mother in law woke up not able to feel anything from head to toe. They were out camping for Labor Day and had to drive hours to an emergency room where she was diagnosed with MS. After trying multiple medications and being in and out of dr. Offices for over two years, she has almost lost her ability to walk and see. Their home is not conducive to this aggressive disease. There are 2 floors and a sunk in part of the living room. The laundry is downstairs and she has fallen down the cement stairs multiple times. They were ready to make this their dream home before her care became top priority. This woman has given everything for her family and community. She STILL works 40 hours a week so she can keep her medical insurance and tries to be the best wife and mother she can be. There is nothing more we could want for her than a home that she can live in and be handicap accessible. Thank your taking the time to read this.

  16. My father has spent his whole life helping others financially. He lost his dream home he had built I'm MO because of a bad builder. My father has always thought of his family before himself. He recently gave his home in AZ to his mother and now deceased father because of the medical convenience of doctors being close to them. He has always made sacrifices for all his kids and parents. Now he has a home that he invited me and my kids to live in because we recently ran into financial hardship and I thought it would be neat to try to give back to him. This house is very neat and has a lot of character however is straight out of the 70s. It is on stilts and he loves the rustic ness of it but It needs so much updating . He is the most deserving person I know. He served his country and now serves his family. I wish that I could say thank you somehow.

  17. Hello, I would like for your to consider my friends the Pedroza's. They have a very large extended family, parents of 5 children from age 16-7. 3 years ago they adopted a niece, whom was in state custody and hep C positive. They opened up there home and hearts to this beautiful child. The Pedroza has a home with 4 bedrooms ( very small)which needs some fixing up. When they bought the home it was in need of repairs but livable. They moved in and had plans for fixing it up. Both parents work, recently there soul bread winner had a near death accident, causing more set back on repairs. They are unable to wash dishes due to plumbing issues in the walls. Every Sunday evening they have a huge meeting at their house with the local community, trying to get to neighbor interested in church. They feed everyone and play games, this is a wonderful family that needs help but will not let anyone do it. Please come and take them away on a needed vacation and we will all pitch in a help on the work. Just need your help in getting this family on their feet again.
    Thank you & God Bless
    Tim and Melissa Murphy

  19. I am asking you to please consider my disabled mother that has crippling arthritis for an extreme home makeover. My disabled brother that has cerebral palsy and a nerve condition lives with her too. My mom has had a very rough life yet she never complained. Her mother(my grandma) passed away during her birth, then her husband(my dad) passed away years ago. She has always been a happy and friendly woman that would do anything for anyone. Despite her pain she always volunteered for various organizations, etc. She has struggled with rheumatoid arthritis since she was young and now she has difficulty getting around so she has been homebound for a few years. She had to retire early because of the pain all over her body. Years ago, my brother was hospitalized a few times and this caused financial problems. Since then, my mom has struggled financially and being on a fixed low income has been tough for her so she was forced to cancel her home insurance. I was unaware of that until her house flooded or else I would have helped her pay for it. She is able to pay for insurance now but there is now way any company will insure her house in this condition. The house is on a foundation but the floor is not directly on the slab so there are 2×4's and plywood under the floor; therefore there is a big drop from the floor to the slab. There are foundation problems causing the bricks and walls in the house to shift and crack. Her home has flooded three times. All of the wood under her floors has rotted and she has holes everywhere which make it very dangerous to get around. Also, the bottom of the walls are rotting. The smell from all of this is terrible. I think this has cause a mouse problem too. There is mold everywhere which I am sure is causing health issues. She needs a new roof because there are a many leaks in her ceiling. She has a large hole in her ceiling from a piece of sheetrock falling due to being wet. Also, for a few years she has only taken sponge baths because she does not have access to the shower and cannot get in the tub. She really needs a handicapped accessible rest room. Furthermore, she always enjoyed cooking and baking but cannot get around in her kitchen anymore. Also, I feel like her and my brother need some assistance, yet, right now they are too embarrassed to have health providers, etc. see the house. At this point, my mom is very worried that snakes, etc. might get in the house, that she might fall through the floor, that the ceiling might fall down on her, and about where she and my brother will go when the house totally falls apart. Basically, she is in a rural area which has grown up all around her now. This has caused her ground to be lower than others and she has bad drainage. I cannot figure out anyway this house can be repaired without it flooding again. Even if it could, it would be more costly than a new house. My mom desperately needs some assistance. Now, if my mom gets a new home or somehow can get hers repaired, she understands the importance of having insurance and will make sure she has coverage in the future. My mom deserves to live in peace in a house that is accessible to her, especially since she is at home 24/7 now. She would really appreciate it. I am positive that my mom will offer all of you some of her fresh baked cookie if you make it possible for her to get in her kitchen again.

  21. Hello I am messaging on behalf of my grandmother her house is falling apart and none of her grandchildren are financially able to help out. The roof is caving in, the bathroom leaks into her room flooding it. There is no air conditioner so she has to use a window unit which let's the outside bugs in and she has to worry all the time about spiders and scorpions in her shoes. She has limited mobility so it's hard for her to actually check her shoes. Every time it rains the water leaks through the roof. She has no heater also do the winters are extremely cold inside which causes her arthritis to get worse. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help out thank you

So I used everything I had been saving for two years and move I brought my dad camper with me because my great mother l house is not very big was going to stay in there until I save enough money. I even transfer my job up here too so I didn't have to find one. So we got told we could not stay in the camper so we end up in my car for 6 weeks it was me, my mother, and my fiance and our dogs it was an adventure.

  26. Hi my name is Melissa, I'm writing on behalf of my Mom (Nancy Blackmon). I'm Retired Military with 29yrs and in 2013 I almost lost my Mom to 3 strokes an a heart attack. Since I'm the only girl I made a decision to move my Mom with me from her house in Evergreen (315 Magnolia Ave Evergreen, Al 36401). In doing that I couldn't keep up two households, so I let the family house go down. The lights, water and other utilities were turned off. Alot of the appliciances are old and worn out. The house is falling apart, it would be a nice house to retire to if restored. At this time my baby brother Eric is living in the house because he has no where else to go. The living conditions is horrible. Please help if possible to make our Family House a Home again.

  28. My sister and her family are in dire need of an extreme home makeover. She is a hard worker and served in Desert storm. Her health has not been good and her husband has a chronic disease and works as much as he can. Their house is virtually unloveable due to several water mishaps and their inability to keep up with the cost of big repairs. Two of their children live in the house and one has depression and anxiety that is worse in that type of home environment. I can't think of anyone more deserving. We live in Omaha, Nebraska. Please consider my sister and her family for an extreme makeover.

  30. I am writing in regards to a very sweet lady who is a dear friend of mine. Her name is Jill. She has endured so much tragedy and heartache in her life. She currently is raising three of her grand daughters due to the sudden death of her son. The place they love in is a tiny single wide trailer. It is not in great condition. Each of the three girls have medical conditions. One had a tree fall on her head so she has TBI.Another has life threatening athsma. The other suffers from other things. They see doctors pretty close to a weekly basis. At least monthly. She has had so many people promise her to help make her home more safe and healthy just to be let down. She can only do so much as she faces serious health problems as well. There is proof of the medical conditions I speak of. She needs a bigger, safer, and healthier environment for her and her girls. Myself and so many others would love nothing more than to see that they have what they need in a home. Thanks so much for any consideration.

    Sincerely

Thank you! Jean

  40. Hey team,
    My name is jonas. I live in Madison, WI. And I am coming to you all on my parent's behalf. My mother, Kelly, has been through so much. She was in the peace corps for three years in the 90's. And has been a teacher ever since she graduated college. She has been in pretty bad shape recently, being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so she's not able to keep our house in tidy order all the time, or lift anything for that matter. My father, Scott, has been in and out of jobs ever since his 2 brain surgeries for his epilepsy. We struggle for money in this family and our house shows for it. We have a broken shed that we can't afford to replace, we have a house that is near 70-80 years old. And it is in very bad shape, the trim of the house is peeling and undone. The wood and gutters are deteriorated, and falling apart. And we have a lot of furniture that needs to be gotten rid of. I am coming to you for my parents because they have too much pride to be able to let someone come into their lives and help them. Please take some time to review this application and get back to me. Thanks so much.

  41. Dear team,
    I'm writing on behalf of my parents. I live in a house built in the 50s, and it's in very bad shape. My mom, Kelly, has fibromyalgia, which prohibits her from lifting any objects or work on the house. My dad, Scott, has had 2 brain surgeries which have put him in and out of jobs. So we are struggling for money and having a hard time keeping up on bills. I have picked up a job at Festival Foods, to help provide a little more for the family, but we can use any help we can get. It would mean the world to be chosen for this. And I hope you consider this application when reviewing them. Thanks so much.

  42. I am writing you on behalf of the Johnson Angels.All 4 of their children were diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called A.T. and they are trying to raise funds to put an elevator in their house because the older their kids get the harder it is to carry them up and down the stairs. They are the only family in the world to have all of their children to have this diagnosis. One of the triplets suffers from A.T. and cerebal palsay and is the only known person in the world to have both. Annually they put fundraisers together to raise funds for research and treatment in hopes to find a cure. Thank you for taking time to watch the clip I have included about their story.

  46. Hello there Home make over 🙂 I am Albert 24 from thunder bay ontario . I want to nominate my mother laura Paglia. This is a little bit of a different request as my mom does not own a home, about a year or so ago my mom called me asking me frantically to come over. I rushed over to find her having a stroke. We thankfully got her to the hospital in time and she was able to beat the complete loss of use of her whole right side. But she is still left with daily pain and limited use. After the stroke she lost almost everything she wasn't allowed to work and was put onto disability only giving her 300 dollars to live off of each month consisting of paying for her bills clothing food and day to day living she went from a 3 bedroom to a one bedroom apartment with our housing Corp I have personally been there and it is horrible you can hear everyone and everything there is no privacy.. I know there is more needing people in this world and I except If they are chosen 🙂 but this is just a son asking for help for a very deserving woman. My mother has always Givin everything she has for me and my sister and has always been that woman that is willing to help anyone no matter of who they are she has tough us that none on earth is different. She is the most hardest working woman I have met who has had every ipstical thrown at her from almost loosing me 5 years ago when I was stabbed at a party to having her daughter turned against her by a close friend she has had the un expected divorce from my dad lost her house to the bank giving everything she had to make sure me and my sister grew up strong and right. I also want to tell her that she did a great job mom 🙂 as I am 24 about to get married with 2 beautiful children and my sister is to be married this summer :).. I know this is a long shot. But it is a shot worth taking for her she deserves more then she has and me and my sister try to give her it as best as we can but with our own growing family's it gets harder and harder

  47. I am writing on behave my home. I'm 16 years old. I live in Pontiac Michigan, at my dad's. Living conditions here ever since i came 5 months ago have been so rough. The back door doesn't even lock anymore, it doesn't close all the way so all the cold air gets inside. Our first bathroom is right by the back door, it's so small you can barely walk inside. The window is broken. The ceiling right outside the bathroom is ruined, water leakage coming from upstairs soaks through the floor and the ceiling is fallen through and yellow. Our kitchen is so small, not more than 3 people can fit inside it without being clustered, not to mention theirs 6 of us living here. the basement has cob webs everywhere, spiders often find their way in side. We don't have a storage or enough room for everything so it's all piled up in the basement. Half the floor is messed up carpet, the other half is cold concrete. Upstairs in the house, the stairs are slippery and steep, scary to walk on. As soon as you get up the stairs, theirs a huge hole in the wall… We can't fix it we have no money. The bathroom upstairs window has no screen and isn't in a good condition. The walls are yellowish because we can't afford paint. The shower is rotting. Our shower heads we have to have two because one barely drips water. The bathroom sink water doesn't work, if you turn it on, it leaks through the kitchen ceiling that's already destroyed and all the way to the basement. The two rooms up stairs are full of stuff and you can barely move. Our yard is full of junk. We never have food, rarely drinks. My dad can barely pay the bills. We aren't a stable household and our living conditions are so bad. I really hope you see this, Extreme Home makeover crew. My little sister is deaf. We all want nothing more than our own rooms, a better house. My dad doesn't know I'm doing this, so it's a surprise if anything even happens. Please and thank you this would mean the absolute WORLD to me.): Have a good day..

  48. I want to do this for my mom and dad. They want a beautiful kitchen and they don't have the money to do it because of court the had to pay for it because of me. They want the kitchen to be remodel and they are blaming me. I want to do this for them so the can stop dreaming about their kitchen. I want them to sit down in the dream kitchen and enjoy it. Since my dad works hard for our family and i've been fight the courts. They never had time for pass 2007 to have their dream. I been sitting back cry because all this is going on. If you can please help. Thanks Dori Richard from sierra Vista Arizona..

  51. Hello, would be extremely happy to enter my home in this opportunity of a makeover. It would just be great.

  52. I'm writing on behalf of my mother. She is 40 years old and has had 4 heart attacks n heart surgery. She isn't in the best of health and has helped so many people by letting them move in only to be treated like trash n left with all the bills and clean up. My younger brother has not made anything easy on her by continuously punching holes threw her house and on walls and doors. The garage is falling apart, the bathroom roof leaks n the tub is leaking and making the floor weak and ready to fall in. The sewage tap in needs done and the township is sueing her over and over because she can't pay anyone to do it so we have been digging it by hand. They are taking her to court for the 4th time over it. She can't keep ahead of the bills because of trying to fix everything herself. There is so much that needs fixed in the house and it has become to much for her to keep up. I am asking for help for her because she has helped so many and I want her to see that there are good people left in this world. Thank you for your time in reading this. I can send pictures if you need them of the house. Sincerely Zach

  53. I'm requesting help when on behalf of my 86 year old grandmother. The home was built in 1920 she has owned it from about 1971 and it needs extreme help. The city may soon even foreclose on it and she won't have anywhere to go. She lives on a fixed income so getting the repairs in time would be a hassle. I love her to death and I would hate for what she's worked so hard for over the years to fall and crash to the ground. She has applied and went to many programs including but not limited to the Urban League, Home Opportunities Made Equa, HUD and even applied for loans she has been denied for. If I had the money to make the repairs myself I would. She has raised 5 children, 10 grandkids and 7 great grandkids all in her home. This is home too many of us, if we ever hit a hardship we know where to go if she loses this we won't have anywhere to go and more importantly neither would she. I will love to see the joy on her face and in her heart to see she had the opportunity to save her home. I hope you guys consider her for the home makeover if not thank you so much for taking your time out to read this request.
    – sincerely her granddaughter

  55. Hi
    I wish that you could help my friend who is desperate to have his parents house re done so that he could be independent with living again. Its in Scotland though!!

They need help to give Raymond his dignity back with a wet room and proper access to their home. If theres any chance you could help it would be amazing. Just saying!!! I love your show it makes you realise theres hope xx

  56. ok i do not know these people very well but they have lived in my town for many years in a house that is falling down all around them. the father i was told is in a wheelchair and is unable to do any repairs and the reason they are financially unable to fix their home is their daughter was diagnosed with cancer and it drained them financially. the house is pretty much on its way to being on the ground and really a mess in the yard due to not being able to do yard work and repairs from a wheelchair

  58. I am nominating our family. My daughter is severely disabled and medically fragile with life threatening illnesses and seizures every day. She is 6 yrs old and not mobile or able to talk. She has trouble seeing and hearing- she is wheelchair bound and cannot eat in her own. I have 4 children total. We live in my parents house as I cannot work -I take care of my daughter full time. Since living here my mother passed away from a rare cancer. It was my mothers dream to fund raise for my daughter. My father and brother live in the house with us. My brother is autistic. My husband is a special education teacher who teaches children like my daughter who are in a hospital setting. We need our house to be modified for my daughter in a wheelchair and modified bathroom etc. I carry her around and up and down the steps and she is getting very heavy. We do not have enough bedrooms for everyone in the house- my father cannot keep up with the needs of the house repairs and such as he is older and my brother being disabled and my husband and I devoted to the care of our fragile girl and other children the house has been let go. We would love to have a house appropriate for our family and a clean and healthy environment for our special fragile girl. She is not medically cleared to go to school so she receives schooling at home.
    My mother worked at our local school in the special education department and at our church and so our family as a whole are very involved in the special needs of children and adults. Please please consider us. My children have gone through so much with their sister near death so often and losing their nonna so suddenly. They are also so patient with their autistic uncle.
    My daughter has no known diagnosis and we travel 4 hrs for all her specialists at the Boston children's hospital. All our money goes to her care. We are home as a family so much because my daughter is sick often and we like to be together as a family as we don't know how long my daughter will be with us. We would love to have an appropriate house for our family and one we can enjoy while we are home everyday.

  59. I need help because my mom has asthma and she cant breath properly around this whole dust we need help for her to get well and we want her to live longer and everyday when we wake up sometimes she can't breath properly your help will be highly appreciated may the lord bless you

  60. Hello im writing on belaf if my foster mother. She gas been living in this home her whole life. Me growing up in the foster care system, she was the only one really showed me the love i needed and searched for. The many years that i have known her, she has always looked out for everyone else even when people has done her so dirty, she always remained to stay humble. The house has been was built in the early 1900's and her father bought the house and i needed much work and he rebuilt it up from scratch by his self. She has grown up living in the house her whole life raised her children in this house, but its falling apart. And i know that it would kill her if her family home was to come falling down . Her family is very big and there is nit enough room but she makes it work for ne and ny foster brother and sisters and her children as well. My mother couldnt help me but she always looked out for me , and i know she would be forever grateful if i could do this for her. Money is very tight from bills in the house, and paying people to try and fix things around the house, who just simply do poor work. There many of us and since theres more then enough people here, food is tight, but she makes it work , living pay check to pay check just to look out for all of us. If you could just find the kidness in your hearts . I will be forever greatful.

  65. Dear Ty, I want to nominate of my son David, David recently sight unseen bought a large house at a city of detroit auction for $1000.00. His plan was to turn it into a music school for children in the city of Detroit. He had already bought a small bus and has been taking kids to learn music at a MSU program. He and his uncle and local musicians, have fund raisers and accept donations to pay for the music lessons. They pick the kids up and take them to the classes. Problem is the only plan he had for the house is Faith. He just got the keys today walked in and was overwhelmed. He is however determined to make this happen. For the past 25 years his uncle Ruben has been throwing a block party called RUBO FESt, in the community. Musicians come from all over to play, people show up with their lawn chairs, some set up booths with food. Guitars are raffled off to kids and music lessons offered for free. There are 50/50 raffles and it is a great community event. To have this large house turned into a music school for kids would be a great testament to the revitalization of Detroit. Rubo Music Solutions is a 501C3 they just need a home base. The house is located on west Grand blvd. in Mexicantown. If your team could help make this happen it would be wonderful for the kids. There is so much more to Davids story, iI could go on and on but I will stop here. Thank You for your time.

  66. Hi! My name is Melissa and I am writing because we are in need of a home makeover for my son Cody. Since 2007, I have adopted 5 children – one of them having spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which is a deterioration of the muscles. Cody can not walk and has very little muscle strength. He has to be carried to the potty and we dress him. Cody has an electric wheelchair but he can only use it on the main floor of the house and it's very limited. He was 4 years old when I adopted him … So little at the time. Over the last year, he has grown 3 sizes and weighs 105 pounds (dead weight). We do not have a full bathroom on the main floor of our house and my boyfriend carries him up the stairs for a shower. Cody feels so bad every time someone picks him up because he can see the strain we all have trying to lift him. He even apologizes for having to go to the bathroom. Cody is only 12 years old and should not feel he has to apologize for anything … It breaks my heart. We have looked into trying to build a house with a full bathroom and bedroom on the main floor, and with handicap ramps to get in and out of the house, however, we can't afford these things. We thought maybe we could look into seeing if it's possible to stay in our home and have it more handicap accessible for Cody. I've even seen videos where they put tracks in the ceiling to get loved ones around the house. We just don't know what we can do or afford to make things better for Cody and are in need of a home makeover. We would love your help … Cody would be so thrilled to be able to get around the house easier and have a full bathroom on the main floor. The look on his face would be a memory to never forget!

  67. My name is Kari Campbell. I would like to nominate my uncles for the extreme home Makeover. My grandma died from cancer back in may of 2003 and my grandfather died in january of 2009. They left my uncles to fend for themselves and pay off all their medical and funeral expenses on their own. I have to mentally handicapped uncles who are not able to live on their own and the responsibility of caring for them landed on my uncles Paul and Richard s shoulders. My uncle Richard just passed away in January of 2015 leaving my uncle Paul to take care of everything. It was devastating for him to Lose his brother they we're only a year apart and they we're so close they did everything together. Now my uncle Paul is trying to take care of my other two uncles and currently has a 3rd that he is supporting as well. Even though they have nothing and can't even support themselves they took me and my children in and helped us with no questions asked. They have taken in multiple family members and helped all of us through many hard times never stopping to ask what was in it for them. Now the city of tooele is trying to condemn the house that they have lived in their whole lives. The house is in such bad shape that I am afraid its going to fall down on them one night while they are sleeping. Their plumbing is awful the floors are all worn out they bend whenever you step. Everything is just falling apart literally. Paul spends all the money he gets just trying to support them and to keep up on the bills. If they lose this home they will have nowhere to go and nothing left to keep them going. My handicapped uncles will end up in a special home and I worry about what will happen to Paul. He is already in a great depression and I am scared that he will just give up. My uncles are good hearted people that help anyone they can without a thought to what it will cost them. They deserve a break. The blows just keep coming and they really need the help. I am pleading on their behalf for you to consider them for a home Makeover. They deserve this and I know that it would really help them in so many ways the least of which being a little piece of mind and security in the the fact that they will not have to lose their home on top of everything else. I don't know that they would be able to survive that final blow. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering us for the home Makeover. I really hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely Kari campbell

  69. I watch the show and I love it wish it was here in South Africa as our house is to old and we can't afford to build or extend it.we are two sisters with our 4 children we stay with our mother in a small 2 bedroom house.its our wish to have a bigger one before our mother passes as she suffer from diabetes too.

  70. My name is Angela and I am applying on behalf of my job Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoptions in Mission Kansas. We are a no kill shelter that and we try to save as many animals as possible. Let me give you a little back story. Danielle Reno is the founder and owner of Unleashed. She started this business in 2011 in her garage and from that day to today we have adopted out 10,059 animals. We have saved way more than that. I am applying because our shelter needs serious repairs and upgrades. It takes is about $60,000 a month to keep our doors open and that's for utilities, mortgage, payroll and vet care for all of our animals. We have an amazing community that helps is out in so many ways but its not enough. We try to do all repairs ourselves and we do good yet we have a hard time and struggle daily to keep up with them all. Our shelter holds about 120 dogs on a daily basis and we have over 200 dogs in foster care as of today. Danielle Reno is about to have a baby in a few months and we are trying to surprise her. She works everyday to keep these doors open and has seriously neglected her house also. She spends all her time and energy into saving these animals and is so stressed out all the time. This would be so good for not only her and her soon to be here baby but for all of us at the shelter including the animals. We could save more animals and be able to focus our attention into the animals better. I love my job and Danielle has shown me and taught me so much about the rescue world and she is so full of passion for this. She has no one to help her but us. We are a family and we just want to give back to her. Please please consider us for the show..all of us and the dogs at Unleashed would be so grateful!!! Thank you
