PLEASE VOTE!! A desperately needed Home Makeover!!!


My friend Malia's house is literally falling down around her family. Her sister in law entered them in a contest for a home make over. They really need as much help as they can get!

Here's a little bit about why they need this help:

This past year they decided to upgrade the kitchen. This was not a want, but a need. Their budget was $5000. Their three sons also share a room that was freezing cold. So they decided to renovate that room as well--as it sat adjacent to the kitchen. When they uncovered the walls they found cracks everywhere!

Suddenly a $5000 dollar job ballooned into a 40-50K job. They have had four different contractors come out to give them advice. All four have told them the whole thing (kitchen & bedroom) needs to be completely knocked down. They're working on it slowly but surely, with lots of help from friends & family, but there is still A LOT to do.

Read the rest of their story & see videos of the house at http://bricksnstones.blogspot.com/ . And here's the link to http://www.americahometoday.com/homemakeover/101.

The best way to help right now is to sign up at the site and VOTE!! Then, please spread the word so more people can VOTE!!

On a side note, I have voted using all of my email addresses and all of my families. To date no one has received any SPAM.

Thank you!!
