    I am Minakshi from Bangalore India.
    I am here just to say thanks allot to you all who are doing such a great job through this TV Show and helping who are really in need of your help.
    I am watching this show since 6 months and feel in each episode that one day I will also try to do such kind of things in my life for at least few people.
    I lost my father when I was only 20yes old when I was in final year of my graduation and in this situation I stared working to get money to fulfill my family's need. My father was an honest officer of postal dept. He passed away in 2002 due to bone cancer.after my father me and my younger sister started taking care of my family of 8 members .After 6 years I thought we both have to get marry and ask my elder brother to take care of our family and found a role in my office for him. We found one nice person for my younger sister and she got married then I thought about myself and found a decent person through matrimony site. we were in love for almost 1 and half years and finally got married with both family's agreement. unfortunately within four days of our marriage I came to know that he is suffering from blood cancer and within 15 days we got admitted in hospital and after one and three months when I returned from hospital I was alone. But I decided not to go back to my or his home town and start a normal life again as my love took promise from me to stare a new life after him. I struggled and now I am on my feet and trying to help my family who are strangling to live a normal life due to financial problem.

    I have written this long story only to tell that I have gone through lot and understand the situation of those people who are going through different different type of difficulties . you people are there to help them as they are in need of you. I can understand whatever you people are doing for them. Really you people are doing great job.
    congratulation and thanks allot .moreless

    Love the show Ty and ABC. It sure would be a wonderful gesture if you were able to help out some one in Canada. Here is my story:
    Working 7 days a week for the past 4 years just trying to stay ahead of the game is finally starting to catch up to me. I lost my home a few months back in a foreclosure deal thanks to the company I worked for at the time, not paying back my expenses as promised every month, they held back my expenses twice in one year for a 4 month stint, which caused me to go into foreclosure, however we did sell the home on the last day before the bank took it over from us, we sold the home for what was owing a loss of over 50,000. With my brother living with us who has a mental illness and not able to live on his own we are struggling to keep a roof over our heads. We had moved into a rental under a lease agreement with the hope of rebuilding are cash flow and buying a new home. We moved n just getting settled in and 1-1/2 month later the owner tells us he has to sell, they did sell the home and we are needing to move again. This takes a toll on the pocket book. With all this added stress I lost my good paying job. We have gone for help in all sorts of directions only to lead us down a dead end street. With work hard to find in our location we are struggling to recapture our needs for a standard roof over our heads. Not knowing if you could help out or not, simply thinking you may have some Canadian connections that we may be able to turn to or you could send them our way. Just need some help desperately.
    I was at one state over a year ago was not able to drive a vehicle (that's my lively hood) and was put on suicide watch for a couple weeks. I was in a bad state. Developed a heart condition at the same time now on medication the rest of my life. All this caused from the company I worked for. Like to start a new life in home we could call ours just not knowing where to turn for help anymore. Thank you for your time Ty and ABC Network.moreless

    You get to change the lives for a family, you get to watch designers create, and you get to see how much hard work is put into making that dream home. It's sooooooooo cool! Perfect for architecture students, interior design students, construction managers, and home decor fanatics!
