Hi, My name is Ali and I am eight years old. Your show along with SuperNanny are my favorite shows to watch. Please keep up the good work!

I have a question, why do some shows require two hours to air and others require only one?

My daddy is sending this e mail for me.

I know of a family deserving of a home, and want to apply for a makeover for them but do not have a printer to download the application. Do you know if there is any other way to apply for the makeover without the on-line application?

i used to think what could happen next then the
hurricanes and other distaster happened and now i don't i think that no more what extreme makeover
is doing is so great and make you realize what you have and to cherish memories and more thanks
to extreme makeover

Thanks for shows like yours. I have a family that your show would be interested in. It starts with a little bright girl aspiring to be Dr. but whose dreams were shuttered because Dad couldn't afford. She settled for teaching college. With first job first paycheck took on a responsibility of caring for 10 siblings. She got married and husband came to USA to study agriculture, he was in a devastating accident that left him paralysed. Wife was sent for to come and take care of paralysed husband. Catholic charity helped them get college education. In the mist of all this, they managed to continue paying tuition for the relatives they left behind. Some of whom have become DR. and professionals. At any given time they support at least 10 students in Africa. They brought one of their dying parent and took care of him in their house for two years until he passed away. They could not afford hospice so they had to juggle between husband and wife and balance their full time jobs. They have touched and changed many kids that wouldn't have been able to go to college. They do not look at themselves as disabled people, all they see is the potential in kids that are forgotten. They are approaching retirement. Their house can use disability-friendly amenities if you would please help. CAN YOU ALSO HELP THEM OUT BY PAYING TUITION FOR SOME OF THE CHILDREN THEY ARE CARING FOR. IT IS A BIG STRUGGLE FOR THEM BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN IGNORE THE KIDS THAT NEED THEM.
