Help needed urgently for this Virtually Homeless Family!!!




REQUEST FOR HELP and PRAYERS
There is a family that really needs your help and prayers.

Their contact information is:
Smith Family

In April 1996 this family of 6 has had the misfortune of having the interior of their house totally destroyed.  The insurance company and contractor DID NOT do their job, and left this family with a very grossly undone house which is also infected with MOLD.  They cannot live in the house because it causes sicknesses.  They have been paying a mortgage all this time on a house they cannot live in.  

Because they have not been able to live in their house, they have lived in their car, in tents in their back yard, at various friend's houses as well as in a 25 ft. x 6 ft. pop-up tent camper that is falling apart.  They are presently renting a VERY SMALL apartment that they can hardly pay for because they are also paying a mortgage on their house that they CANNOT LIVE IN.  They have also had numerous Medical Problems. 

The apartment they are living in is so small.  They literally have beds up against beds.  It is very cramped for the family to live.  It is really getting hard on this family (4 children) trying to live everywhere except in their own home.  They have also had many other serious problems constantly throughout these 14 years, and it is really wearing them down physically, emotionally and financially.   The husband will be 60 years old soon, and the wife will be 59.  They just don't know how much longer they could stay strong. 

 They have 2 cats that they cannot have at the apartment with them, so they have to travel 30 miles round trip every day to visit them and feed them.

They have had Child Protective Services watching their family for quite some time.  They love their children and DO NOT want them taken away.

This family really feels that the Lord has led them to a television show called EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION as their answer.  They were really praying hard one night asking the Lord what He wanted them to do about their house.  The next day the family received an envelope in the mail with the application enclosed for this television show.  They never heard of this TV show before.  They went back to the Lord and asked him to confirm that this envelope came from Him.  Within 1 week they had 3 or 4  different people come to them and tell them about EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION, and that they should send in an application.  They took this as confirmation from the Lord, So their family sent in an application.

 If you would send an e-mail to EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION requesting for them to refurbish this family's house, it would help so very much.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PUT THIS FAMILY'S CONTACT INFO IN THE E-MAIL SO EMHE HAS A WAY TO CONTACT THE FAMILY.

 It would help even more if you would keep re-sending your e-mail to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition EVERY DAY (re: Luke 18) until they build a new healthy house for this family.
