Extreme Makeover Home Edition - Byers Family 1 of 5

Aired: October 07, 2007
Before Jenessa was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in 2006, the Byers had dreams of renovating their home. But as soon as the cancer appeared, the renovations became the least of their worries. An outdated and dirty heating system only heats a part of the home, and the wiring is exposed throughout the house, making it dangerous for the children to be around. In addition, mold and toxins have caused health concerns to both Jenessa and her brother, 13-year-old Joey, who suffers from severe asthma. The condition of the home is so bad that it has forced Joey to move into his grandparents’ home. To make matters worse, Jenessa’s cancer has reappeared. While Ty and the designers, local builder Legend Homes and hundreds of volunteers and workers are rebuilding their home, the Byers family will go on vacation to Disney Vacation Club in Hilton Head, NC.
….It is sad to read and hear such a couragoes story of a little girl who did so much for others. Her life here on earth was truly an inspired one. Lives were touched by Jenessa’s story. Kids are more loved by there parents cause of the life she lived. And hearts are broken for the family she left behind. May you rest in peace Jenessa and may your memory live forever.

to the person who posted this: thank you. yesterday i received news from a specialist at johns hopkins that i’m facing up to 3 brain surgeries very soon. not cancer but still scary… and i thought being 22 was young.
if she could face cancer, i can face the brain surgeries & the possibility of losing the battle. this isn’t just an emotional episode to me - it’s motivation to win this battle and smile while fighting.
thank you.

Her story is …
Her story is amazing. We all need to sit back think and re-evaluate things in our life. Don’t be so shallow. Open your eyes. and know she never gave up. She was a soldier and was stronger than most of us put together. You can’t say you understand because you never will. Her parents went through more trama and pain than you can imagine. I have total respect for the family. I have been there too. I was one of the rare lucky one’s.
Life is too short. As we can see. We got to get along.

If your referring to when Britney shaved her head….are you serious? Do you think that’s funny? This little girl had cancer and lost her hair. Making a joke like that is really tasteless. Grow Up!
