My name is luvida . i live in a small town with my daughter, two grand daughters, my son, & my daughters boyfriend. We live in a very small home with many many problems . there is only 2 bedrooms in the house. I sleep in the living room, my granddaughters sleep in a shared bedroom, their dad has his own room, & my daughter & her boyfriend sleep in the attic. Our home is not large at all. Ive lived here for quite some time with my husband who was sick. He had scleroderma and spent time in and out of the hospital. He passed away last year on febuary 2nd. We never thought that would be the last time we would see him. Everyone in the house has had a very hard time and things havent been the best lately. I lost my job a few months ago and hurt my back, thats made it hard to pay bills and its been a struggle. Theres leaks in the house, problems with the cords because they are very old, its just too many problems in the house and with no money to get it fixed. We have been talking about moving but have no money to do so. It would be an honor if you guys took the time to come out and help us. Please, we need your help.

My name is Zoli Sapepa from South Africa. I have always watched your show since i was a kid, wishing and hoping that one day it could be me on the show. I live with my grandmother who is 101 years old this year, my dad, 4 siblungs. My father lost his job In 2014, our lives changed for the worst, I had to drop out of varsity to look for a Job to make ends meet. This year I decided to go back to varsity because I realised my education is all I have. I lost my mom this year In April she died of stroke that none of us were aware of, she was admitted in hospital 27th April, died the following morning. Sad part about her departure is that I promised her that I would build her one beautiful big house when I become success in life, now she will never see me fulfill that dream. Please help me realise her dream of having a beautiful home were all her children would be safe. I know south Africa is way too far, but I need tour help, we live in the rural areas where there is hardly water to drink and my grandmother could die anytime.
Hi my name is Clydia Fulton and my house needs a good makeover. My problem is I just honestly don't have the resources to do the work that needs to be done. My house was built in 1849 and it has lots of potential to be a beautiful home if I could afford to do the work needed. My house is a 2 bedroom home but the attic has enough room to build 2 bed rooms and a bath I only have one bath at this time and when my kids and grandkids come to stay we have to share to bedrooms and bath which isn't easy to do. My loving husband passed away December 28,2015 and with him he took a very large piece of my heart. I cry day and night because he is gone but I know he isn't in pain anymore. He had arthritis so bad he couldn't walk. He had dementia which made it worse because he would forget he couldn't walk and try to go and fall. In July 2015 he fell and broke his right hip. He went through rehab and they got him back to walking with the aid of a walker. Then in September he fell again and had a brain bleed on his left side which made his confusion worse he fell again in October which put him back in rehab for two months. He came home December18,2015 and he fell again December 18,2015 which gave him another brain bleed on the right side which he was to week to recover fron I brought him home december21,2015 and he just lay in bed not eating or drinking for the remainder of his time which was one week so on December 28,2015 he passed away and as I stated he took a very large piece of my heart with him. So as I have stated I really need a home make over to my home.
Hey guys, just I'll make this brief but me and my family have been having a rough week. My father and brother were involved in a car accident this week. My brother was driving and fell asleep at the wheel, he drifted across traffic and hit a field driveway and the pickup they were in flipped. My dad was crushed and passed away on scene. My brother is ok but sustained some injury, a broken shoulder and hes cut up pretty bad. And now it's just my mom raising us boys. We have a garage that is falling apart, water damage all around, door is broke from high winds, it's about ready to fall over. We don't have much money to get it fixed, so I thought I might try and give this a shot. Thank you guys. God bless
I am requesting a home make over not for myself, but for my community. My name is Stephanie Alvary and I am a resident of Kern river Valley where the Erskine creek fire has been taking place since Thursday. Each year my community is hit by harsh winds and heat that leave us in fear of losing our homes by fire. This week We have lost 200 plus homes leaving 2 people dead and many people without homes. Although We are a small community, we are full of loving people, and although we have pulled together as a community to help one another with many people donating everything from food to clothes to toiletries, they still are without a place to call home. I know u only choose one family, and it crushes my heart and puts me to tears to think that only one family might be helped. So I was hoping from the bottom of my heart that maybe instead of building us a home for one person you could brighten the people of our valleys hearts by building us a community safe house for emergencies that has beds showers bathrooms and a kitchen to assist in the relief of those who have been and are displaced by fires in our community. I know its a lot to ask but you would be blessing our whole community. please help us.

Hi, my name is Caleb Gamble. i live in a house that is literally falling apart. my step mom's shower is on the verge of falling through the floor. my dad somewhat fixed it by putting a cinder clock underneath the shower to keep it from falling through the floor.my step mom works 60 plus hours a week to provide for me and two brothers and older sister. we also have a horse and three dogs. she works so hard for so little. she busts her butt everyday to make the house look the best she can and its taking a toll on her. the sink and the other bathrooms aren't in the best of shape either. the sink likes to link and we have tighten all the pipes every time. The other bathroom is on its way to falling through the floor. The roof that covers the porch is starting the buckle because the house is so old. The A/C in the house doesn't work anymore and the only type of air we have going through the house is two A/C units, one in the living room and one in my step sisters room and we have fans running through the house as well to keep it as cool as possible. My step mom is having a hard time keeping everything from breaking. are water pump is on the verge of going out and she doesn't know how she will get it fixed. My dad left me and my step mom because he couldn't handle living down here anymore and its taking a toll on her and she wants to give up. The only thing that is keeping her from giving up is me and her kids. i love my step mom to death and i'm trying to help her out with the house but i recently got let go from my job so i'm having a hard time myself with my bills but this isn't about me. This is about my step mom. i would really appreciate it if you guys could help my step mom from giving up and figuring out how she will pay for the next thing that's breaks in the house. I love her a lot and hate to see her struggling. she is also a nurse and they like to put her on call a lot and not let her work like she use to. On good days she works about 60 hours a week. On other days she works less then that. I'm doing this to get her some help with the house so if you guys could help us that would be great! thank you guys for your time!
We watch your show all the time and it's amazing what y'all do for people! My parents are in desperate need of a house remodel for one the house is a split foyer and as they get older the harder it gets to come home and get to where they need to be and the laundry room is down stairs and living space up stairs which is a huge issue! Everything is broke and needs remodeled the house is older and is in bad shape!! The outside has a pool and the fence is falling down it needs lots of work as well the back deck is falling off!! They could really use lots of help and with low income it's hard to accommodate! They deserve a new house they have worked hard their whole lives and my mom is such a kind caring person that she would rather do for others thin herself I think it's time they get some help and get some things they deserve if I was financially able I would do it on my own but unfortunately that's not the case!!! I would love to see them be able to get a new start and have something they could live comfortable in and finally breathe not worrying about things going so wrong!!!

Hi my name is Arin Ehrlich, we live in a small town in NW Oklahoma, we use to live I. OKlahoma City but here is our story, my mother is a single mom of me and two brother, my oldest brother is autistic and 4 years ago was diagnosed with leukemia and fought for his life, during this time my mom worked nights in the trauma IcU and I watched her struggle to pay bills, watched her work endlessly trying to get my brother what he needed and try to meet the needs of us. During those four years I watched her stand in line at food pantries to get food, and ultimately she lost everything due to the cost of cancer treatment, and because she is a nurse and wasn't working didn't qualify for any types of aid or help. She refused to ask for help saying we will get through this and we did, we moved to be closer to our grandmother and grandfather so they can help. She works night in an ER 63 miles away. We live in a 3 bedroom house and she sleeps on the couch saying we deserve our own space and rooms, I have watched my mother cry, and it breaks my heart to see such a strong, deserving, and courageous woman continue to give to others without nothing in return and though I know there is more deserving people then my mom but want everyone to know there is so many families especially single mothers watching there sons and daughters fight, some win some lose, and we lost but my brother won his fight and he is in remission 🙂

My sister's keeper is what I would have called myself when our mother died at age 29 from a rare uterine cancer. Without much memory of the three years she had with our mom. My sister has done an yeoman job in rearing six children as a single parent while serving as a EDL and Spanish language teacher. Her home is evidence of an impossible life. I believe that she holds on to things because she is afraid of losing anything again. I want to take this month while she is on a mission trip in the DR to do an extreme makeover that will truly change her life and allow me to give her flowers while she is living. Teacher single mother. missionary, all thankless jobs that she attends to everyday. Help me make my dream come true because my sister is worthy of a reason to smile.
I am nominating a family in Ingleside Tx that has recently had their home flooded and have had no luck with getting assistance in repairs. This family has always had open doors and open hearts to everyone that has ever needed a home a meal or a temporary place to lay their head. When they were first married , unlike most newlyweds moving forward on their own this newly wed couple had the wife's mother , sister and disabled brother to care for. They sacrificed it all so they could keep this family together. The family they have always cared for have now passed on. Its finally time for them. There was a recent flood in the area and their house has been significantly damaged. We have tried all means to get assistance in any way possible and have been hit with a brick wall each and every time. This family would not dare ask anyone for any help as they have the attitude they will just get through it.. They deserve so much more. I'm afraid the home will be labeled inhabitable and they will be lost with no hope. Please consider helping this wonderful family. Olga, Michael Thurman and their 13yr old daughter. Thank you and god bless all those youhelp

Hi my name is Sadie. I don't even know where to begin. I have the most wonderful parents in the world. They both work so hard. Their health isn't that good but they always keep going on in life. I'm a a fitting to you all to ask for help for them to have a house of their dreams. They always take people in out of the streets that have no place to go. They have had a lot of struggles maintaining their house now. It has had a lot of problems. Please help me give my parents a home of their dreams. Thanks Sadie
My name is Amanda. I don't really know where to start with this and I am not the best at writing things but I will do my best. My mother and step father are the two most caring and loving people I know. They will give you the shirt off their back if that's all they had to give. They are currently taking care of my three nephews ages 4,9, and 12. My mom got custody after my brother was going through a difficult herion addiction he got clean for over a year and slipped up and ended up overdosing and dying. The older 2 children's mom is an addict that has not seen her children since they were 3 and 6 and the younger ones mom has something to do with him when she can make time for him from the bar. She is raising the three boys in the same 4 bedroom trailer that she raised myself and my two brothers in. She doesn't only have them in the home to take care of she is also taking care of my step dads sister and her two kids. My step dad is not working due to him being disabled with serious health issues and my mom is the only working one in the home. The home is in serious need of fixing the roof is leaking in numerous places for who knows how long now, the light sockets have a burned look on them I'm guessing from electrical issues, she has roaches everywhere that she has had an exterminator come in to take care of and it has done nothing, the floor in spots feels like your going to fall through it, she has window units for ac because the unit outside has been broke since I was little, during the winter she has space heaters to try to keep the house warm, she can not run the microwave with the ac or heat on in the living room because it will trip the breaker, the bath tub has been caulked because it has a crack in it and it feels like it's going to fall through. There is so much more wrong with the home I would be here all day saying what's wrong with the place that she has started to raise three children in all over again. The home is not very big but she has done her best to make it a home. I think that honestly with all the electrical problems there is a serious fire hazard and with all the water leaks there is no telling how much mold is in the home. I am begging you please help my mom and step dad with the place they are trying to make a home before it falls completely apart. PLEASE!!!!!
Hello their are so many heart felt stories on here and everyone is very deserving of the make over. I need one for my mom's house. She recently passed away in March unexpectedly. Her house looks like it should be condemned. The roof is falling in, there is mold, drywall holes, the central heat and air doesn't work and so on and so forth. My mom worked hard to keep her house and it's all she had. I've recently become the executor of her estate to keep her house because I know how much it meant to her. However I'm a single mom and have my own expenses. Now I've recently taken on her house payments as well. However with all the damage that the house Has I don't know if I'll ever be able to repair it myself. Thanks for your time and consideration.
HI my name is Erica Dee Casas and i live in North Carolina. SJ, is a 2 years old beautiful, happy boy. He can't hold his head up, he can't sit up, can't do anything that a 2 years old should be doing including eating solid foods. I had an amazing pregnancy & doctors have no idea what went wrong. Doctors say he has problems with his visual & something wrong in his brain as well. We have been to all kinds of doctors & nobody can give us answers. The last thing we were told is that he might have mixed development disorder, which doesn't seem accurate by definition. I had to quit my job b/c all of the absences that I had, to take him to the specialist, weren't excused. It is also hard to find a reliable/suitable babysitter that will watch a child with special needs. We currently living in my in-laws home that we are buying of them, it old and needs alot of work.. I am asking for your help from a mother that would just love to give SJ a good home that fits his needs in every way. I would love to be able to better the home that suits all his needs & all the equipment that he will need. This a mother's worst nightmare to feel that she can't help her 6/23/2016

My mom has had a rough couple of years and her home more than that. About three year's ago my dad passed away and at the time she had two daughters, three grand babies & three dogs that came in and out of the house as they pleased living there. My dad was too weak to help out with the house when he lived in it and three kids that are either in kindergarten or too young for school,nobody had time to take care of the house. Now only one of the daughters lives with mom and the house is falling apart inside and out. My sister with the children now has four and is being told that she might lose custody of her kids. The only way I feel that all four kid's will stay together is if my mom's house is in fit condition for all four grand babies to come and live with her. My mom is losing all hope of getting custody of her grand babies. As of now I don't see her house being in the condition it needs to be. Each of my sister's kids are most likely to be split up between their fathers. And each child has a different dad and I don't know how far apart they may be after July. So if you could please help her in keeping together the family I would appreciate it alot. Thanks for hearing me Frances
There is two family's living in one small trailer, the trailer is going down hill the air doesn't work , the trailer leaks , bath tub leaks , you half to turn off the air conditioner that's in the window to use the microwave , going down the hall way the floor is about to give out , and there isn't no room for 6 people in this small trailer. The mom barley can afford to keep the house up and her children help her the best they can but the trailer is falling apart.
I would really love you if you could help out the family!
A few years ago my mom brought 2 side by side 1bedroom duplex that she turned into 1 big house. This was a fixer upper job for her.she had a great job but later had to go out on full disability due to her medical reasons. Since then she has tried to fix her house up and make it feel like a family home for her my brother and Grandma. Her light Bill runs a about 1000 every month due to no iinstilation. She converted the house from gas to electric .most of the work she has done herself from watching home improvement shows. The only part that is pretty much needed is the kitchen floor..and cabinets…and a new tub for bathroom. She has spent all of her money on the home and due to her disability it's hard for her to fix up the house the way it n is suppose to be fixed. Please help my mother she is always helping others in our family and i just wanted her to feel good about her house. Sometimes she feels this was a bad decision on buying the house but I try to encourage her that it wasn't and to look at the bright side she no longer has to pay rent or a house payment. I hope that we hear from you soon. Thank you
Hi,
My name is Alexis. My husband, 2-year-old son and I just lost our home to a tornado. It hit so quickly we were unable to even get out of our home to safety. Our home collapsed on top of us, leaving us trapped inside and unable to move. We were rescued and only suffered minor injuries, truely a miracle. However, we now have no home at all and only have a place to be put up until July 31st. Our insurance only pays $10,000 which won't even cover our cleanup costs. All we want is a basement for safety and a home to get our son back into so he can be back to his normal environment. We have received help from Red Cross, State Farm and there is a gofundme account started for us. We are not looking for anything spectacular, just a place to call home again for my son so he can be back with his kitties and pony.
Hello my name is Mikel I'm 16 years old and i really want to help my parents with our house we live in a VERY VERY small 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house if that's what you can call it our house dosent have heating or air conditioning so during the summer our house traps the heat making it unbearable for us to stay there and during the winter the house gets so cold that you can see your breath in the house at any given time. This house that we live in is much too small for my family my bedroom is more like a closet if I stand in the middle of my room I can touch both of my walls my parents are very hard workers they both try there hardest to make sure that we have food on the tables and make sure that we have things that we like such as a computer and video games and things like that this house that my parents own is so bad that we couldn't save enough money to fix it in a year they are sinking all they're money in a project that they are not going to be able to complete and I really want my sister and my parents to finally be able to sit at home comfortably without having every fan in the house pointing at us during the summer or having 300$ electricity bills because we are trying to keep the house heated I just feel like I can't help and I just really want to help my family
This message is extremely time sensitive. My friends Gary and Nancy Williams from high school who are on their 50s are desperately in need of help. Gary has been diagnosed with head jaw cancer and has been through several sessions of chemo. HE is fighting for his life. Nancy has diabetes and neuropathy, they are both on disability, however that's only part of their struggle. Their home is getting ready to be taken from them by the bank and they will have to leave in the next month if someone does not step in. The house is falling down around them because they can't keep up with the amount of repairs that need to be done with Gary's health and Nancy's condition. They have two children who help,out as best they can, but they need an angel and a prayer. I live in Germany, but they live in Maryland and I really need some help in finding help for this family. I'm begging for help for them. To go through all of this with Gary's health is devistating. I would be happy to share photos and do what I can. Please, please help me to help them. ASAP Once again, this is so time sensitive.

Hello. My name is Jonathan and I am married to Wendy, a wonderful wife of 19 years. When we got married we bought a 1500 sq/ft home in Princeton, WV. It is a small town in southern WV. We were a happy couple and looked forward to having a family and enjoying a simple life. We have two daughters, now 21 and 17. When we started off we both had promising jobs. The house appeared to be in good shape and all was well. After we lived in the home for about a year we noticed that there was an extensive water problem in our partial basement. We didn't have a lot of money, but I put what I could into trying to remedy the problem. As the years went by the extent of the water issue became more apparent. The basement was built below the water table with no way of draining water from the foundation. In the meantime my wife began to have more issues with her health. She had to have multiple surgeries for different issues and suffered from worsening depression due to degrading health and trauma suffered as a child. She now suffers from sever fibromyalgia, seizures, asthma, and mental health problems. She eventually had to quit working and is now disabled and suffers daily with health problems. I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 21 shortly after we were married. I have mostly managed to control this with medication and diet, but am having more issues keeping it controlled now. I have worked contiuously throughout the years trying to keep my family well cared for. My job revolves around the coal industry which took a major hit a couple years back. I lost my job and had to cash in my retirement savings and other reserves to keep things up. I gave up trying to fix the home issues to focus on necessities. I did finally find new employment, which paid roughly half of my old salary. It covers the bills but leaves little to make home repairs. The water issue in the home has worsened and I have seen evidence of mold other complications. I fear the the home itself is contributing to my wife's worsening health issues , but have little means of changing it. My wife has always enjoyed being hospitable to others and enjoys sending others cards and small crafts. This has slowly decreased due to health. I would really love to give my deserving wife the house she needs to better care for her health but don't see a way to due much. My employment options are limited and my health issues complicate matters as well. Any help with this downward spiraling cycle would be appreciated. I know there are a lot of deserving families and our chances of getting help are small., but I appreciate the opportunity to at least express my concerns.
Thanks so much,
Jonathan Meadows
Hi!my name is penny,I'm 31 yrs old I live in limpopo in south africa .I like what ur doing to hlp other people.I always watch ur show and I think maybe u can help even thogh your too far from me but I have that hope that u will help me.I live with my mother,2 sisters, 2 brother my 7 sisters kids and my 2kids.we have only 5 room @ home two bed room one kitchen one siting room and one dining room and I'm the only person who is working at home.my mother is a ssingle parent.I wish and hope that u will help me to fix my home
I would like to request your help for my parents. We currently live in Cape Town, South Africa. My parents are both over 60years old and one would think that at this age they would be indulging in a good retirement. However, this is not the case for my parents. As a result of bad decisions my older siblings were unable to raise their own kids and my one sister and her family lives with us and so we are 15 people living in 3 bedroom house. This includes my parents, grand mother, two sisters, one brother in law and 9 children between the ages of 18 – 4years. No one has their own space. The children sleep on mattresses in the lounge and bedroom floors. The children have difficulty finding a place to study and to concentrate on school work.
Although we have tried to ease the living situation at home it has been difficult with my father going out every day at the age of 65 just to put food on the table. I sincerely hope that you accept our request for help, as we HONESTLY AND SINCERELY NEED IT. I know that my nieces and nephews do not have parents to rely on and we are their only form of support. I sincerely hope that you are able to help us help them and make their lives a little more brighter.
Dear Extreme Makeover, The Cradle of Hope is a NPO situated in Krugersdorp West, Gauteng, South Africa. We assist abused, vulnerable and destitute women with their children. We currently have one home that can assist 18 people with a push. We recently acquired an adjoining property. However the property was extremely neglected. The property has huge potential – if and when we get this new property functional, we will be able to assist an additional 20 moms and kids. Should you be looking for a project in South Africa, we would greatly appreciate being considered.
Thank you
Hi! My name is Janet from the Philippines. I am not sure if my country is qualified for the program but I'm just trying my luck. I wanted to join and be one of the lucky participants to be chosen to undergo a home make over. My two children are staying with their grandparents because our house is not yet finished and not yet safe to live in. My husband have no permanent job. I am a government employee here but with very little salary. Right now my eldest daughter stopped her schooling because I cannot afford anymore sending two students in the college. I already accepted the fact that I cannot send her to college for the meantime, but at I just wish to give her or to my children a decent place or house to live in. Please help me realized my wish. Thank you and advance and God bless your show.
My name is Laurie hinderman I am auditioning for this because I am a single mother of two biological children, yet over the years I have inherited lot's more. I have a dream to have a house built shaped like a shoe. One level for my family and i to reside and the rest of the place would be for lonely,latch key , or any child that needs anything to come hang out do homework eat a hot meal etc. My dreams are obviously bigger then my pocket book. Thing is these children are our future and if someone doesn't start showing them love, respect' family values then the human race as we know it will end soon.
Hello my name is jessica fortner. And as all the others who have posted my home is falling down around us. It's me and my 3 kids and my bf and I work full time so we're barely home to see each other bc we work different shifts. My youngest 2 are 4 months and 1 yr old boy and girl.and they have to share a room. Their room is smaller than the average room so none of their things fit. Everything we have is old and worn including our house. My dad owns 2 houses on the same property and they were built by our family members back in the 40s I believe. However I'm missing walls the ceilings are bowing in and all the door frames are slanted bc the house has now gone unlevel. Plz help us.

My husband and I have been together for 9 years and married for 4 years.

Would you be willing to come to the UK ? My husband was a long standing Marine for the UK and when he came out we had our children, we were both made redundant so with his back ground in catering and being thought how to make chocolates from a family friend we set up our own business as chocolatiers, we moved from the middle of England (Manchester) and moved down to Dorset so we could be with my husbands family, and where he lived whilst he was in the marines, so we are here in Dorset, my husbands parents after all their life wanting to move down to Dorset decided to move down and and they bought a house down here which as my father in law was in the building and planning business they decided to completed renovate a two bed bungalow to a four bed with an upstairs, unfortunately when they were living with us (just before we got married) I was diagnosed with breast cancer and then my father in law was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, I have recovered however my father in law has got worse and now has secondary! He and we desperately want his house to be finished off so all his efforts and time spent building it he actually gets to enjoy it and live in it and spend his remaining time with his children grandchildren and wife! The house is half done it would just be amazing to have more help and speed to get it finished as time is of the essence! My husband my children and us as a family as a whole have had a really rough year – not worse than any others and certainly we are not alone or worse than anyone else – I just thought I would ask and see if there was any help available from you guys – thank you x
My name is Amber and my story is about my mother. 13 years ago she decided she was going to build her own house at the age of 63. She cut down some of the tree's on some property she had been paying for for about 30 years. She did it. Built the house herself, no contractor's or builder's. The house isn't finished. She's now 76 year's old and just beat cancer only to find out that she might have skin cancer and congestive heart disease. She heats with wood and propane and pulls water from the well. She put in solar panels for electric but it's not enough power to run a refrigerator. She keeps her food in a cooler which I don't think is healthy. She is out there all alone toying to work and finish the house before she dies. I believe her house is structurally sound but in need of repair including plumbing. I think she got cancer from breathing in fiberglass from the insulation. I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
Hello, my name is Mary and I'm reaching out for my brother and sister-in-law. My brother rick has always worked for a living as a carpenter. He and my sister-in-law Kathy have three children 2 girls and a boy. Mary Elizabeth, their eldest, has graduated high school and is in college. The other two children , Sarah and Buddy, are 18 years old and both have cerebral palsy. Kathy stays home and cares for the children. Several years ago, Rick was in an accident where he broke his neck and was unable to work for quaite a long time. He was finally released to go back to work but has not had a pain free day since the accident. he just deals with it to support his family. About 2 months ago rick had a stroke, a minor one, but had slight paralysis and still has equilibrium problems today. Add to that , the wheel chair access hadicap van they had was just this past Friday 6-17-2016 crushed by a tree falling in a storm, they have not had an easy time of it. They own their house in Savannah , Georgia but it has many problems, the biggest of which is that the twins have to be on the ground floor as there is no way to get them anywhere else. They are Kathy and Ricks pride and joy and neither parent would call this a burden. They both are thankful for every day they have with the kids. I don't live in Savannah, I live in Albuquerque, NM so can't be of any assistance to them except to send to you and ask for a home makeover and possibly a donated used handicap van with a lift for the kids. Thank you for reading my post and have a great day.

The Plumbing is Shot in the Kitchen & Bathroom. The Bathtub, it is Hard for me to get in & out of. The Bathroom sink leaks underneath. The Bathtub is always stopping up. Kitchen sink leaks and sprays water everywhere.
The Carpet, we have pulled up some of it, in the Dining Room, Hallway.
But, the Carpet needs to be pulled up in the Livingroom. Some of the Bedroom walls have some mildew on it, carpet needs to be taken up,
My whole house could really use an Update on it.
PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP US KEEP OUR HOME. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE IT, WE HAVE NO WHERE TO GO.
Thank You,
Sincerely,
Susan & Aaron Davis

Hi there my name is Jay. My best friend Kris is probably the most mentally strong person I have ever known. Since birth Kris's life has been a ongoing battle. Kris was born 3 months prematurely and spent the first year of his life in an oxygen tent. All through public and high school Kris was constantly bullied. But in summer leading up to grade 13 Kris decided to join a summer football training camp. The first time Kris was tackled something happened to that 6'4 230lbs quite boy. From that moment forward Kris made a choice to never be bullied again. For next 15 years Kris training and playing football. He was able play for University of Waterloo and the Toronto Argonauts. After football Kris became a jail guard for 2 years at a maximum security prison. Kris then found a job managing the St Thomas paratransit division for 10 years. One February day changed his life. Kris was pushing a client up a wheelchair ramp when he slipped on some ice and the wheelchair ran over his back. The incident left Kris with a broken vertebrae. After 8 years of mental and physical therapy Kris had one more decision to make. Lie in bed waiting for death or get up and do something. He has spent the last 9 years helping the Aurthur Voaden football team. He runs the weight room for the schools sports teams as well. Kris has volunteered hundreds of hours to these programs. Never once has he asked for a dime. Kris lives on disability from the Canadian government. Kris's house is starting to fall apart. The house was built in 1860's and could use an overhaul. Could anyone please give Kris the help he desperately needs!!! Thank you for reading.
Please please please consider my post to help renovate my home mostly for my youngest son to have a healthy and safe home my son was born with respiratory problems with the NICU stay and we had hoped that was the end of it but as he got older his respiratory problems progressed worse with added GI issues. I repeated the same fate of a sick child Like my mom as my brother had 14 reconstruction surgeries before he was a teenager. My family sacrifice everything to come to the states to rescue his life. Though the severity is not equal the strain of time, life, finances, and memories often are compromised. Even in my adult life having to give up myself to provide a stable and healthy environment to the best of my ability. My family even pocked up left our city jobs to move to a remote area for my husband to work with at risk youthat in ministry for a camp facility. Having to buy a first house in a rushed time with little money the house we bought is now falling apart after two years with no money to fix because of the medical cost for my son. With a tight income the stresses of a house in need of love and repair and no money to fix it. Broken windows. Faulty screens. A dangerous stair case to out home and side entrance falling apart and a front ard unable to be utilized because the condition for my son are are not ideal. Celine leaks and dangerous floor heater that poses a risk during snow fall winters are a concern. Always having to sacrifice I hope that one day a blessing will come and be bestowed upon my family as such. We love our 3 kids our oldest who is adopted and suffered a lot with us even though my husband and I were young and newly weds we opened our home to help another life. And our daughter who since our youngest son has had to often miss school and be forced to miss out on events because of his health. We'd love to have a home fit for all of our family and friends who we often open our home to. To have an oasis of hope and joy. Please give us a home that I'd suitable and safeel for my son and daughter. And now grand daughters. Thank you kindly and we pray you chose our family.
