Judd's company, Wright Engineers and Custom Home Builders, was chosen to build the Las Vegas house for the hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition!!!! They are here in town building a new home for a family in need. As I understand it, the family they have chosen have two daughers with Combined Immune Deficiency Disease (CIDD). The house they are living in is killing them slowly as it is not sterile enough for these girls' sensitive needs. Extreme Makeover and Wright Engineers is going to tear down their old house and build them a brand new home! We went to the rally on Fremont Street a couple of days ago and were featured in some B-Roll (yay for my journalism skills!) seen in the pictures above. We got to meet Mayor Oscar Goodman, where I made a total fool of myself in accidently turning off a camera someone gave me to take a picture of them and the mayor!
Judd gets to actually help build the new house. I'm a bit bummed that my name got lost in the thousands of people who volunteered, but maybe Judd can pull some strings for me! Either way, I plan on going out to the site to see the house being built. You can see it too on May 10 at 8:00 on ABC!
I just think it is so amazing that this show can take a family in need and completely change their lives. Even more amazing is the thousands of volunteers that show up to help. I can't wait to see what good this new home will do for a family who needs it.
If you're in Vegas, they still need some help. Here's the website where you can learn all about what they are doing and what they need:
So how is this coming along?
