Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Is Gut-Wrenching

July 27, 2008 09:00:04 by Christine McDow

In an extremely poinant episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition we will be introduced to a family with a child that has been diagnosed with Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy which means that she feels very little pain and is not effected by harsh temperatures.

The family has moved around the country, including a drastic move to Alaska, finally settling in Colorado in hopes of finding a safe place for their daughter to live. Because of severe allergies the little girl cannot play outside during the day so she remains couped up most of the time.

After their latest move they found themselves in a terrible position of not having an adequate place to live or place for their children to play, and medical bills piling up. Can Ty and his team come in and help?
