Extreme Makeover Home Edition - Byers Family 5 of 5
May 6th, 2009 by admin
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 An outdated and dirty heating system only heats a part of the home, and the wiring is exposed throughout the house, making it dangerous for the children to be around.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.
