Yesterday I posted an article about how stupid people can be with their money. that isn't really Christmasy or happy I suppose. So I'll make up for it today with this article from the local paper. There's a show on ABC called "Home Makeover" that is hosted and organized by Ty Pennington, former carpenter of Trading Spaces and lust object for home owners across America. He remodels entire homes for families in need. Someone here in Austin was inspired by that show, and took it upon himself to make that happen for a family here. Sometimes, I do feel better about people in general. (to be completely honest I bawled at my desk when I read this today.)
( Home again - article text )How you can help
If you would like to contribute to the 'extreme makeover,' you can send a check made out to First House Inc. (a nonprofit set up for the project) addressed to Bo Busby, Hill Partners, 2800 Industrial Terrace, Austin, TX 78758. Busby has raised 60 percent of his goal of $50,000. Any donations not used on the house will go into a college fund for the Rank children.
