Build Participants Speak Out

Thank you SO much to everyone that has been sharing their experience and sending us pictures.  It is awesome!  Please keep reading for some comments from build participants!

Thank you to Linda Hill for sending us some great shots!  Here is what she has to say:

"My name is Linda Hill and I was one of the lucky ones that was chosen to be a volunteer.  It really touched my heart to see all those people working together for such a wonderful purpose.  I don't know the family personally, but I have seen pictures of Jake.  It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm so glad I did it!  It was so much fun that I didn't want to leave at the end of my 4 hour shift.

I hope the Grys family enjoys their awesome new home - - how could they not, right?  Thanks Extreme Makeover:Home Edition!!"

Jenny and Greg Freson

"How we were involved: well, my husband wanted to volunteer but he wasn't need. I don't know the family but heard of Jake quite awhile back and circulated his online petition on myspace and Ivillage for more signatures. We also donated a small amount to help with their fund. I hope the financial aspect works out for them! God Bless"

Pam Lohnes

"I would like to thank you for allowing me to be a part of making someones dream come true!  Melaney Spurgeon, Loy, Randy & everyone else who has had a part in this have all done an extremely wonderful job!  Thanks to everyone!!"

Thanks so much to all of you that have sent us pictures of the build. It will take us a bit to sort them out and get them uploaded to the site, but we are working it!  Please keep sending them.  You can email downloads@calahansolutions.com

Note: We are not allowed by ABC to publish anything that is of the inside of the finished home until after the show airs.  Get ready for some great footage though!  We even had Jake give us a tour on video.
