Extreme Makeover Home Edition - The Turner Family 1 of 4

Aired - March 09, 2008
The Turner family of West Virginia, who live in the smallest home that the Extreme team has ever experienced, were about to be the recipient of the Extreme Home Makeover team’s valiant seven day effort to build a new home for a deserving family.
Ty greeted us as he snowboarded down the slopes of West Virginia announcing that the Extreme team continued their 50 state mission to help a family in every state of the union. Ty welcomed designers Tanya McQueen, Didiayer, Ed Sanders and Eduardo Xol for this episode as he showed the application video en route to the Turner home.
When Angie and Richard Turner married in 2003, they transformed their family into a modern day “Brady Bunch” by blending two households; Angie, and her daughter Teresa, and sons Tyron and Desmond and Richard and his daughter, Layton, and cousin, Michael, into their home. In addition to dedicating their lives to their children, the Turners serve as positive role models for local youth, as they strive to keep children off the streets by coaching football, basketball and cheerleading, fundraising and mentoring inspired by their troubled past.
In addition to their own blended family, the Turners are also caretakers for mentally challenged adults in the area and hope to someday open up their own business to help the mentally challenged. But the Turner’s rotting home, which measures less than 600 square feet, is too small for this caring family of seven. The flooring is unstable, the kitchen cabinets are falling off and there isn’t even enough sleeping space for the whole family. Teresa and Layton share a bed, while Desmond, Tyron and Michael sleep on the floor. Ty was moved by the determination of the family and for their mission in the community and the designers agreed as they rolled to the Turner home.

That is the reason …
That is the reason he had to go through those hard rough times, to be an inspiration to other kids and try to keep them from making those same mistakes. Sharing his story and experiences with those kids I am sure has saved many of them from a horrible life. I wonder how many kids he has coached and mentored that would have ended up in jail, doing drugs, in a gang or dead. The world needs more men like him.

The Turners are …
The Turners are such amazing people. It’s nice to see someone who actually cares enough to stand up and to teach their children right. All too many times, I’ve seen and ociated with people who don’t care about their family, much less those around them. So, it made me so proud when this wonderful family help everyone around them. As a West Virginian, I’m so proud. And yes… GO MOUNTAINEERS!! XD

if you don’t like it than don’t ING watch it!!! i think you need a ing lesson on respect…and those blings probably aren’t even real!!! you need to have some ing common sense you er!!!

what the IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!! i think you are the scum cuz you look down on these pplz…so what is they are poor, they are still pplz. have some ING RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!
I think as far as …
I think as far as families go they are really deserving. Yes, it’s true they do have a house and an education, but the house they have it was too small for all of those people. They do work to help in their community and give to others, so why don’t they deserve something? Just because they look all rich and everything doesn’t mean they are. You can buy fake nails like that for a couple of bucks so just because she has them doesn’t mean they are to rich to recieve Ty’s help.
