ABC show looking for local families in need of home makeover


The ABC television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is searching for a deserving family from Fort Myers.

The show’s producers say they are looking for families whose homes are in desperate need of being rebuilt.

“We really want to help families whose homes present major problems for the family, those big issues that affect the family’s quality of life on a daily basis,” said casting supervisor Morgan Fahey. “We want to find deserving people who just don’t have the resources, ability or time to fix those serious issues without our help.”

Each episode involves a race against time to complete a project that would ordinarily take at least four months, involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire property: every room of the house, plus the exterior and landscaping.

Fahey said they are looking for people who have made an impact on the community.
Interested families should e-mail a short description of their family story to: castingssouthflorida@gmail.com. Nominations can be submitted by the family or a member of the community. Each nomination must include the names and ages of everyone in the household and contact information.

To be eligible, the family must own their single family home, and be able to show how a makeover will make a big difference in their lives.

“Anyone submitting a nomination should be sure to explain why the nominated family is deserving, heroic and/or a great role model for their community,” Fahey said.

The deadline for submission is Oct. 16.

If possible, producers are asking for a recent family photo.
