The F-4 tornado destroyed 100 homes in the town of Chapman. The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team chose the Tutwiler family to get a new home. The family was chosen because Patrick Tutwiler is a Iraq veteran was shot while in duty and survived despite the odds. He was still recovering when the tornado stuck the town. The family was staying at a temporary house at the base but they had to leave because he was about to be medically discharged form the army. ABC showed up right before the Tutwiler ended up with no where to go.
ABC sent the Tutwiler family on a week vacation on a Disney cruise. During that week, ABC didn't just help the Tutwiler family they also helped other families rebuild their homes in the community. The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition also built a community storm shelter so incase there was ever another tornado the people in Chapman will have a safe place to go. The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team didn't just stop at giving the Tutwiler a new house, they also received a new truck along with other gifts.
At the end of the week the family came back to their new house and a concert from Gavin Rossdale. After seeing the show in action and then watching the show air on the television I was happy to see exactly what I had seen in person.
ABC did cancel the show this year but if you are a person who likes to watch shows on your iPad or computer ABC has episodes from all nine seasons of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Have a great week!
I love how you split up this topic. The show is so life changing and wonderful it was interesting seeing the information in two parts. I am sad that the show got cancelled but happy to know that I can still watch all of the episodes. Thanks for the information!
ReplyDeleteLike I mentioned, I did travel to Chapman and was able to see Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in action. I think it's so nice that they send the families on vacation during the makeover process. It's so heartwarming to see families in need helped by their supportive community. Maybe for one of your posts you could put a video of clips of the TV show to give viewers a glimpse of the show? Just a thought. Great work, love reading your blog!
