Thanks, Chris, for passing this on. Do you know anybody in the neighborhood that needs a home makeover? Well…

ABC is in search of real heroes – people that have amazing strength and who have put their own needs aside to help someone else. In addition to heroics, the producers are looking for families whose homes are in dire need of help. We don’t want to tear down a nice looking house. We want to see houses that look like they might fall down on their own!

To be eligible: A family must own their own single family home and be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives. Interested families should: e-mail a short description of their family story to –
emhe.penn@gmail.com

Nominations must include:
1. The names and ages of each member of the household
2. A description of the major challenges within the home.
3. Explanation of why this family is deserving, heroic, or a positive role model in their community.
4. Photos of the family and a photo of the home
5. Don’t forget to include a contact phone number.

The deadline: for nominations is March 7th, 2008. Don’t Delay! Please send story submissions as soon as possible! You can find out more about the program on the Extreme Makeover site.
