extreme makeover home edition! 10.23.

soo exciting news! this family in our town actually got chosen to do the extreme makeover home edition! Jake Grys is a cute little kid that has brittle bone syndrome and he’s awesome! Our school is affiliated with easter seals and we raise money for them every year that goes towards their program. Anywho its pretty weird to know that they are filming the actual show in our town! Its been chaotic. I just got done making the flyer to post around town about raising money. We want to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage for the house which someone told me was $130,000. They want us to do it by next tuesday! Thats a pretty HUGE amount of money to raise in such little time. The reason for the time crunch is that if we do it, then we will be on national news and stuff! I was trying to convince my mom to set out a donation bucket at her work, but she said people are too cheap and stuck up to donate. Because they don’t have money themselves. I can never convice my mom with donating anything because she is too cheap..grrr

Well they started the demolishion on the house today. I wish I coulda been there but I saw pics in our newspaper! lol the family was sent to disney land =p It probably won’t be on TV until like next year or so. Its going to be fun to watch it and know that it was in our town! haha

heres an article if anyone wants to read up on the family! http://designbuilthomesextreme.com/family.htm

2. Hey that sounds pretty cool. Good luck with raising the money. My school is doing a fundraiser too for kids in Congo who can’t go to school. Each class has to raise $1000 which is a lot since we only have like 5-10 students in each grade. Lol… small private schools.
