    • Mike Holmes: Make it right.
    • Mike Holmes: (When he was asked about his experiences helping Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" Foundation in New Orleans) Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw the first time I visited the Lower 9th Ward. It was almost three years since Hurricane Katrina and the devastation looked like it had just happened. This was a vibrant area before the levees broke. There was no sign of rebuilding. No infrastructure. No plans in place to get people back into their homes. I offered the Make It Right New Orleans project my commitment to build a home that was not only LEED-platinum certified, but would also be able to withstand future hurricanes and floods. It was a huge challenge for me and my crew, but it was also one of the most inspiring and rewarding experiences of my life.
