Extreme Makeover Home Edition - The Turner Family 1 of 4

Aired - March 09, 2008
The Turner family of West Virginia, who live in the smallest home that the Extreme team has ever experienced, were about to be the recipient of the Extreme Home Makeover team’s valiant seven day effort to build a new home for a deserving family.
Ty greeted us as he snowboarded down the slopes of West Virginia announcing that the Extreme team continued their 50 state mission to help a family in every state of the union. Ty welcomed designers Tanya McQueen, Didiayer, Ed Sanders and Eduardo Xol for this episode as he showed the application video en route to the Turner home.
When Angie and Richard Turner married in 2003, they transformed their family into a modern day “Brady Bunch” by blending two households; Angie, and her daughter Teresa, and sons Tyron and Desmond and Richard and his daughter, Layton, and cousin, Michael, into their home. In addition to dedicating their lives to their children, the Turners serve as positive role models for local youth, as they strive to keep children off the streets by coaching football, basketball and cheerleading, fundraising and mentoring inspired by their troubled past.
In addition to their own blended family, the Turners are also caretakers for mentally challenged adults in the area and hope to someday open up their own business to help the mentally challenged. But the Turner’s rotting home, which measures less than 600 square feet, is too small for this caring family of seven. The flooring is unstable, the kitchen cabinets are falling off and there isn’t even enough sleeping space for the whole family. Teresa and Layton share a bed, while Desmond, Tyron and Michael sleep on the floor. Ty was moved by the determination of the family and for their mission in the community and the designers agreed as they rolled to the Turner home.

This is probably one of the worst episodes, it’s good they got a home for the sake of the kids but seriously they shouldn’t have had that many in the first place. So, yes Wysefunction you sell yourself and if it’s sad enough you get a home for free. This episode is like the only one that doesn’t make me cry, they only got the home due to the fact the father has made a change in himself and is serving the community. Otherwise it would have been like so what?
