The problem comes in when the neighbors don't approve of the new buyer. The Beaches had fostered and adopted 85 children with special needs over the years, but could not keep up the cost of their new mansion. The neighbors began to worry when the home was sold to Butch Woolfolk, who turned it into a high-end drug rehab center. Daily Mail reported that after donating their time to build this house, many neighbors were worried it would now hurt their own property values.
Not to mention the fact that no one was thrilled about now living next to a drug rehab facility. Sadly, even a feel-good show like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is not immune to people trying to scam the system. While the participants each went through a thorough background check, one family may have embellished, or even fabricated the truth, in order to be chosen.
Yahoo News reported that in , Chuck and Terri Cerda were chosen for the show. In her show application, Terri shared that she and their two daughters suffered from severe immunodeficiency diseases, causing them to have to wear masks at all times.
The Cerdas were given a massive home complete with high-quality air ventilation systems, but the story didn't end there. When the family was unable to afford the utility bills, they sold the house and moved. When the family connected with new doctors in Oregon, the medical team questioned the family's diagnoses.
Thomas Valvano , an OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital pediatrician who specializes in suspected child abuse and neglect, reported his concerns to child welfare offices, and the girls were actually removed from the Cerdas' home. Valvano told the court the daughters were not chronically ill and had been the victims of " medical child abuse. Ty Pennington and his crew devoted their lives to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition before it ended in The star spent an average of days per year working on the show and helped build over new homes.
Since the show ended, Pennington has not taken a break. He became the host of the talk show The Revolution while it was briefly on television. He must have liked the food world, because he is now the host of the Food Network series, American Diner Revival , where he and his team help struggling diners get a makeover sound familiar?

I just hope people understand the reality of it. The Jacobo family of 12 received a much-needed home makeover in , after their family doubled in size. Michelle and Jesus Jacobo took in Michelle's five nieces and nephews when her sister lost custody of them. Michelle's father moved in at the same time to help the couple take care of the nine children under their care, as noted by Kevin Green Homes.
This renovation, however, doubled the property taxes for the home and was expected to increase the utility and insurance bills. To help the family keep afloat financially, a fundraiser was organized by a local homebuilder Kevin Green. It is unknown to the public if the Jacobo family has been able to keep up with the significant increases in bills.
Sadie Holmes struggled with cocaine and heroin addiction for 17 years. Eventually, Holmes regained custody of her five children after she turned her life around and got clean. Holmes ran her nonprofit from her home, which was sadly destroyed in by four hurricanes and a house fire and had not be insured, as reported by the Orlando Sentinel.
The crew rebuilt the home and transformed the square-foot home into a mansion with office space to serve as the base of her operations for her nonprofit organization. In addition to the new home, the show's producers secured property tax payments and insurance coverage for Holmes. Unfortunately, the cost of running her nonprofit became too great for Holmes to keep up with.
Other expenses include the organization's truck insurance and gas, office supplies, and home upkeep. An attempt to sell the home was made, but it didn't work out. Notably, the home's location in a neighborhood with "barbed wire and junked cars" severely inhibited the house's marketability, as reported by the Orlando Sentinel. No offers were made for the house, and it was foreclosed on in If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available.
Larry and Melissa Beach raised and fostered over 85 children, according to the Houston Chronicle. After Hurricane Ike destroyed their family home, the couple found themselves living with 15 children in a single family FEMA trailer.
The crew built an eight-bedroom home with enough space for the couple and the children to live comfortably, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. Soon after the home was built, however, the couple lost their 2-year-old daughter, Mercy, after she suffered a seizure. Larry and Melissa decided that they would no longer participate as foster parents.
As the older children grew up and left the house, the couple found the increasing property taxes too much for them to keep up with.
The community put a lot into this house and that's really the conflict we have struggled with," Larry told a reporter in
