Hello everyone,
The New Mexico Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing was contacted
by Kristina Gorolevich, a Casting Producer for ABC’s Emmy award
winning TV series "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." They are in the
process of finding families who are deserving and in need of a new
home for the next season of the show.

They are looking for inspirational families that America can really
root for. Because all of you are so plugged into the community, you
might be able to help them reach those local heroes who need their
help or others in the community who can bring those families to their
attention.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is looking for inspirational members of
the community who, for whatever reason, need a new home.  While they
know that there are so many families in need all over this country,
they want to focus on people that have given back in some way despite
their personal hardships.  Some examples from past episodes include
The Bliven family of Minot, ND who started a little league baseball
program for children with special needs.  And in Indiana, Shawna
Farina heads up the local Relay For Life cancer walk for life in honor
of her mother's struggle with the disease and, in an ironic twist of
fate, now battles breast cancer herself.  Some of the episodes have
focused on people who have been inspirational within their own family.
Amy Hawkins of Hendersonville, TN was left paralyzed after she threw
her body over her 2 sons as a tornado ripped apart their home. As you
can see, their definition of deserving can be fairly broad.

Attached is a flyer which details what they are looking for and how
people can submit their materials to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Any assistance you can offer in getting the word out to volunteer,
service, and community-building organizations would be deeply
appreciated.  All nominations should be sent to
extremesantafe at gmail.com.

To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home or at
least property on which a home can be built.  Plus, they must be able
to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their
lives. Nominations must include the names and ages of each member of
the household along with a description of the major challenges within
the home.  Please also include contact information of the family.  If
possible, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition would also love to see
pictures of the family and their home.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is extremely time pressed at this point
and would love to get submissions and nominations ASAP.

Thanks again!
