I really don't expect a reply as we are from a small town in Ontario, Canada and I really doubt their generousity will travel this far. If it did though, man this is one dream that would benefit so many people....here is my letter: I have watched your show many times, but was actually naive to think it was real. If you are able to help someone deserving that can make a difference in many other's lives then I need to tell you about my Mom and her dreams and how if this dream came true it would change so many lives for the better. My Mom is the type of person who would open up her heart and home to any kid, She gives everybody the benefit of the doubt and believes in everybody. She believes that every kid needs to know that someone cares and that someone will do whatever she can to make you believe in yourself. My Mom's dream is to be able to afford to build the ultimate youth center. My Mom has always been a huge part of mine and my brothers lives and also my step -sister Madison. My Mom has never treated Madison anything less than her own daughter, she would never do that. That is very important to my Mom, never make anyone feel like they are less than or that they don't belong. What I need your help with is not a home for my Mom, as that would be selfish and my Mom would never go for that. What I want you to help me with is building her dream now instead of later, why put off changing so many lives now? I know this community would come together for 2 reasons, 1, is because its an amazing advantage for their children and 2, is because My Mom grew up here and has touched so many people's lives throughout the years that people love her. Everywhere we go, she always runs into someone she knows and they always have a friendly Hi for my Mom. Its a good feeling and one of the many reasons I think My Mom is such an amazing woman. I am not even sure that you are going to even read this letter since we are in a small town in Ontario, Canada. Not even sure if we would be eligible for such a huge reward like your show coming and making a difference. If you would consider listening to more about my Mom and her dreams, I would love to hear back from you. There is so much to say about her. I am 15 and want to be just like her. Please at least reply to me Christina Finnemore my email address is w.finnemore@sympatico.ca I have written a letter to the extreme makeover – home edition.

I know they do shows where they rebuild community centres and whatnot, but in most cases they spend so much money on one house and lavishing a single underprivileged family with extravagances beyond the means of 95% of the country.

The host of it used to do Trading Spaces, and he was the crazy and smoking hot carpenter and now he is on the sap fest of an annoying show which I refuse to watch. Interestingly Transing Spaces has also started to suck when it used to be about the budget and creativity and transformation it is now much more focused on the fights and personalities of the people involved, which I could care less about!!
