They arrived this morning to surprise the family! (I have known because my DH works for the DPW)
I am so happy for them, the husband was in a terrible car accident about 18 months ago and is now in a wheelchair they have 3 little kids I think the youngest is only 2 or 3. The house is a little slab (that she actually grew up in) not a "hole" but just too small to accomadate a WC and other medical equip. I went to school with the wife she was a year ahead of me, although we were never "friends" she was a really nice girl.
This is a really big deal for our small town. I guess when they came back in the fall they had said (the makeover people) that it was one of the biggest turnouts EVER for supporters. When they initially come out to see the house and meet the family in person they invite the public to show support and rally around the home. I was working that day but my parents had taken my kids and they said it was incredible & that 1/2 the town was there.They said that having town support is very important in getting chosen.
