IN SOUTH GEORGIA

Me and my husband lives in a trailer. So I really don't know if we would qualify. He is such a hard working man and wants his famliy to have nice things.But he can't really afford it. We got married when I was 15 yrs old and he was 19.We wond buying a run down trailer [that doesn't even have a title to it]. we had tried to remodle and always end up going broke owing the bank and a half way done job. He has also lost his mother last year to cancer and really takes it hard.He would love for her to see him trying as hard as he has to support his family and try his hardest to give us the things we need and desire.

Thank you, for everything...i just watched the show last night with my mom and dad. My dad couldn't stop crying because he was so happy for them.. the higgin's and the other family. Imagine this 6 ft 8 tough guy crying. And i thank you because i actually sat down and watched something with my family, a family that doesnt cherish eating at the dinner table together, and seems to make a happy situation negative. I've recently turned 17 and i know i want to help people for a living ...maybe not like you ...although i am creative, building blocks never were my thing...i'll probably be a nurse and go back to school to be a doctor...nd i'd be the doc who listens Like Patch Adams, one who truely cares. The house i live in is a two story and for that i am lucky. i am the last of four children nd the only one living at home full time. my sister comes down from college and my brother from where ever he had been. If you knew me you'd know im not a complainer...thats my mother and i am not my mothers daughter but am proudly my fathers daughter. Yet to be writing this is a complaint...but it lifts a great burden off of my chest another reason for thanks. Out of four kids there is not one college plan...and for that i apologies to my sister... she didnt want to start her life in dept, now by graduation it will be roughly 50 to 75,000. I will not have that problem when i go to school, nurses are in demand and most hospitals are willing to pay for your schooling. Another reason for going into a medical career, my dad makes roughly 50,000 a year nd works 60 to 70 hours a week. about 12thou of that is taken out for health care..and that doeant even include dental...and ive need braces or oral surgery for a long time...my dentist told me id have beautiful teeth i just need more room. The people who built the house i live in didnt know what they were doing...my sisters ceiling in her room is caving in...the stairs to the attic are bringing the ceiling down as well. My room was redone but never finished no molding NO DOOR! My moms room needs to be done but shed complain the whole time. My dads room is down stairs he converted part of the garage into his room nd hed cry if he didnt have it, its his personal salvation. nd the upstairs bathroom had been done 2 to 3 yrs prior and has mold or mildew growning on the ceiling ...it doesnt make you "home sick" in the sense that you'll miss it when you leave. and when i go to college im prob going to end up out of state ( ive lived in jersey all my life) and i want to see the world through my eyes and not have it shown to me through someone else's. I am only a kid and have known more heart break then many but not as much as some, and now im just waiting for my life to start..so i can finally live...

Sincerely with much love, much gratitude and much respect,
Diana Joyce forrest

Hey there! My name is Stephanie and I have watched your show and how amazing the things yall do for peoples home and lives. I am wondering what and where I need to find out about having an EXTREME makeover done for my Mom on her home. Please reply to me at stephaniejam3o@ hotmail.com If anyone deserves this done for them it surely is my Momma. Thanks and have a great day!!!!

I am in desperate need of a Home Makeover, My parents are both deceased, my mom died first, my dad died 10 years later, after my mom died, my dad pretty much gave up on the maintenance of their home, I recently moved in because i could not afford my previous home, but the house is in great need of repair, the basement floors are ruined from flooding, it has not been painted since my parents moved in, they move into this home when i was 9 years old, im 47 now. Please help, financially i cannot afford to pay for the major repairs on the home, i need a new roof, the porch is falling apart, the bathroom in the basement, the ceiling is falling down, it's a very large home that has great potential, i just need some help to get it that way, it's a legacy from my parents, it would mean so much to me to be able to fix it up to its original beauty

I enjoy watching your show and feel that this world needs more people & shows like this. My sister has stage 4 liver cancer and the doctors say there is nothing they can do for her. She is 49 and is a single mom. Her daughter is graduating this year from High school and would love to go to a local college. My sister still tries to work part time but it is very hard on her. She has had so many surgeries and recently developed a hernia due to the surgeries. The pain was so great that she was always in the hospital. With liver cancer sometimes you develop a condition called ascites (fluid). Your liver can not control your body fluids. She at one time had 45 lbs of water on her body. We would have to take her once a week to the hospital to have this taken off her stomach. I pray for her every day and ask the Lord to heal her because her daughter needs her and so does her family. Is there anything you can do to make her life easier and help her plan for her daughter's future in college. They live in an old house that is very small. It needs alot of work but she doesn't have the money. She doesn't receive any help from the state and has alot of hospital bills. The people that she works with have been so good to her. They have kept her in a job just so she can keep her insurance even tho she doesn't always get to work as often as she needs. She had to take a cut in pay and only bring home about $700.00 monthly. This doesn't leave must money after she pays the bills. Her daughter had to get a job after school to help with the bills. Please let me know what I can do to help you help her. thank you and God bless

Dear Extreme Makeover:

I just read a few of the requests for a extreme home makeover and I would like to enter my best friend for a makeover of her home. Lets begin here, she is 51 years old and on disability due to chronic depression issue. She is living in a home she does not like but has made due the majority of her life. She is a selfless individual who would do anything for her family and friends. I met her about 15 years ago and have become a part of her family as I have none. When I go home, I go to her home and consider it home because I recently loss my mother and loss my father some time ago. She has two children and her only daughter has been diagnosed with Hodgkins disease and to add stress to the matter she is also a single mother of three. She is trying to work but with the illness she is making it harder and harder to make ends meet. She currently lives on her on and would like to move back home to have her mother help her with this illness as well as the kids. The problem is the house is too small.
Her son has also returned home due to divorce and also depression issues. Looking from the outside in you would believe that this family has it all together but in reality they are in need of a larger home to accomodate all the family. They are not looking for a brand new home but an addition to the home in which they already reside. When I lost my mother in September of 2003, this family took me in for about 6 months to allow me to get myself together both emotionally and financially and helped me in both areas. They are a wonderful family and just need help at this time in their life. Currently, I live in Raleigh, North Carolina and would like to return home to pursue my life long dream of becoming an interior designer. The extra space would allow all us to reach for our dreams and live as families live, each person contributing to the household. It is as though through our broken pieces we have forged a family. In my case, this is my nuclear family. I pray that upon reading this email, we would be selected as your next makeover project. Its not always the families that are in clear need of a outside makeover that needs your help, while this is partly the case, sometimes that makeover is more internal than external, families need to made whole, made to feel to secure so each individual can reach their potential. I hope you read this email and answer with a positive reply.

Respectfully Submitted,

Lori M. Rojas

Hello, there are so many people here that wish to have a home makeover. This eould be nice in so many ways. Well here is our story, I am a single, divorced mother of 3, that has been struggling since my home burned down in 2000. I have moved from place to place hoping that this would be the right thing for my children and I. you could imagine how expensive this could be, very. Now earlier this year, I was offerred the GREAT DEAL, NO, but I refuse to move my children again, I closed on the deal in February 17, 2005. The home is clearly dilapidated, but after I put a lifetime of work into this, I am afraid I will not be able to enjoy the home with my children. I live at 513 NE Kingston Lane, Lake City, Fl 32055.
Phone Number is (386)697 6049. Please consider our family for your next home improvement. I can send pictures, you would only get sad. tahnk you Stephanie Taylor and Kids

I would like to nominate my dearst friend Samantha Turner for an extreme home makeover. She and I have known each other since we were children and she has done so much for me and so many others. She rescues horses, English Pointer dogs, and feral cats. She does all this out of her own pocket. While she has a good job, she has had many financial problems over the years and she feels now that her life is on track (she had a very traumatic childhood which scarred her and has haunted her all her life) that at her age she will never have enough money to have a place that is suitable for the good work she does.
She opens her heart and her home to all of her friends and family without hesitation just as she does for injured, abused and unwanted animals.
She has a heart the size of the western continent and her dream is slipping away as time passes.
The place she is leasing is in terrible disrepair and too small for the work she does. The location is perfect, however and if she had the 2.6 acres she is on and the adjacent property with a decent house (the place is a safety nightmare) large enough to accommodate her family (she has 10 grandchildren) and friends when we gather or stay the night, a big barn with Air Conditioning and Heat, hot and cold water wash stations, a tack room, and a hay barn, 4 oversize stalls for her Shires and 4 regular stalls, a round pen for working and exercising the horses, and landscaping that is extremely low maintenance she would be in heaven!
The well on the property is awful - the animals have to drink it! A new, deeper, cleaner well or a high quality set of filters on the well with a larger pump would make a tremendous difference.
She has rescued and placed 25 English Pointers in the past 2 years and 4 horses, as well as many cats she has saved.
Former tenants used the pasture area as a dumping place for all their trash and garbage and she has already paid out over $1000 to haul off junk and garbage and there is still more coming up out of the ground.
Please please please consider providing her with her dream home and haven for her beloved animals. She works hard and is compassionate and loving and I, and her many friends and family, want her to have her dream.
My address is PO Box 1406 Vallejo CA 94590
Sammie lives in Brentwood, Ca. Contact me for her address and then just drive by and look at what she has and then you will see what I mean. Your good works go to people who deserve it and she definitely qualifies!
Thank you for your time and hearing me out.

I would like to nominate my mother for the extreme home makeover. She watches the show every chance that she gets. She is living with degenetive disk disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. She is 54 years old and has been a real inspiration to me. She is trying to loose weight. She has lost eighty pounds so far. Also, I am not her real daughter, yet, she treats me as so. She has gave me many years of her life to raise me. She was there at many school functions, there to hold me when I cried, or to scold me when I was bad. When she was doing this, I didn't know she was in so much pain in her back and etc. My dad is getting older too and not able to fix the house like he use to. We live in a manufactured house, and we need to make it more suitible for my my moms wheelchair to go through.She is a really wonderful lady. Besides taking care of me, she has a daughter and a son of her own. She raised 16 foster kids. When she was young, she was put in charge of three brothers and two sisters, who to this day still look for her support. She even gave a house payment to one of them to help them. She did some free singing for the relay for life in my town, and other charities. She is sad right now because her grandchildren just move across the country away from her. My sister and I hope you choose our wonderful lady for your Extreme Makeover. We live for the day to see the big twinkle in her eye she gets everytime somthing new is done to her house.
