Great news for military families: ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is looking for military families to apply for an extreme home makeover. They are also looking for families whose houses need major repair or alterations: “homes that present serious problems for the family and affect the family’s quality of life.”

I’m excited to share new information about an amazing opportunity for deserving military families.
The producers of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” are seeking people involved in the military whose home deserves an extreme makeover.
The producers are looking for people with “amazing strength of character and who put their own needs aside to help others,” a press release said. “Whether it’s a soldier, a mom, a teacher or a fireman, we think deserving families are families who inspire those around them.”
Additionally, the show’s producers are seeking families whose houses need major alterations or repair – “homes that present serious problems for the family and affect the family’s quality of life.”
To be eligible, families must own their single family home and be able to demonstrate how a makeover will make a difference in their lives.
Interested military families or people who wish to nominate a military family should email a short description of the family’s story to emheusa@gmail.com. The email should include the names and ages of household members, a description of the family’s challenges, an explanation of why the family is deserving of a makeover or is a positive role model in the community, photos of the family and their home, and contact numbers.
The deadline for nominations is May 30, but people should send submissions early, the release said. Only up to 25 families are selected each season.
For more information on the application process, visit http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/index?pn=apply.
Please pass this information on to deserving military families. I hope to see a few on “Home Edition” next season.

I think that some of the military families should be from Ft. Bragg NC,(Fayetteville, Sanford and surrounding areas) because many of them just lost their homes and all possessions in the severe weather and tornados last weekend.
Unfortunately I don’t have any names but I would like to nominate all of them!
Just my two cents,
Dana
