Do you think Extreme Home Makeover will go to my house?

-My father had to quit his job because of his disability.

- We now get $600 a month

- We have roommates to help us but we can't make it

-It cost 3,000 a month to heat this house

- My mother, my father and I are so busy dealing with other people's life, helping people giving counseling, that we barley have anytime for ourself anymore. We give, give and give - we even get up at 2am - to even 7am to help people with their situations.

- My mother has helped people not commit suicide, take people to the emergency because of an overdose, help people with abusive husbands... Let people live in our home, bring people everywhere to appointments, other states...

- We are leaders in our church, we have no time because we are busy in church and helping others.

- My mother face has aged greatly in the past 2 years. She barely sleeps.

- We can not do anything, even if I get 2 full time jobs or par time, i wont be able to significantly change our situation.

-We helped to family's, and many other people by letting live in our house, free or little rent.

The total cost to maintain this house yearly is 56,000 dollars, 17 room house, 1880s.

-One winter I thought I was dying in my sleep because how cold it was in my house.

- Our roof is falling apart and we have NO MONEY to fix it, three rooms ceiling's are coming down, i mean, 6foot wholes.

- There are always arguments now, it hurts too much to live here at times.

We are thousands of dollars in debt, we are drowning.

There is so much more, but we need help, and there is nothing we can do, soon my internet will be gone, my cable, my light

- We just lost our car today

& so much more

  1. There are MANY stories such as yours right now,and alot worse,so just think of them.


  2. Why does it cost $3k to heat the house?!?  That's outrageous!  I don't spend that much on a whole year to heat my house.

    You need to sell the house.  You can't afford it, clearly.  If you lived somewhere that was cheaper to maintain, you might not need Extreme Makeover.

  3. I'm so sorry to read of  your family's plight - but the best thing to do is put the house up for sale and move to a smaller property.  Any profit made on the sale will ease up some of the debt.  

    You say you are leaders in your church;  can you not ask other church members to help you guys??  Are there no builders within your church, no handy-men??

    They say the Lord works in mysterious ways, and I'm sure he does, but we are meant to help ourselves too.  The house needs to be sold.

    Your family are good people, and good people get trodden on, sounds like your family are used by many and those people don't look back and say to themselves "what can I give back".  So ease up on the help and start helping yourselves.

    You can't help people if you yourself are in trouble, sit back with your family and think of ways that will help.  

    If I was a millionaire I'd help you, but all I can do is pray things turn around for you all.


  4. Honey, all you can do is apply and wait!

    I'm sorry for your situation, but thank you and your family for all the help you are giving to other people.
