The Nickless Family in Holt, MI was just chosen this past Friday to get a new home courtesy of Extreme Makeover.

I signed up via Cooley to volunteer and I'm scheduled to work this Thursday from 6 a.m. to Noon. I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but I'm sure it'll be a great experience none the less.

Photos are allowed anywhere except inside the house, so I'll be sure to snap some.

On September 26, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” will be traveling to Holt, Michigan, to tell the Nickless family that their 1860’s farmhouse will be remodeled in only seven days! After husband Tim Nickless passed away in January, Arlene and her three sons were left to fend for themselves in the dilapidated home. Therefore, Ty and his designers will rebuild the Nickless’ home to help them eventually rebuild their own lives after their tragic loss.

Tim Nickless was a true Renaissance man. This loving husband and father to three young boys was not only a respected nurse devoted to his patients but also a gifted craftsman, mentor and environmentalist. As president of the Lansing Area Flying Aces model airplane club, and a member of the Arbor Day Society, Tim had a lust for life and a love for all things living. However after a painful 7-year battle with Hepatitis C, Tim died on January 19, 2008. Arlene and her three boys are now on their own in a 148-year-old farmhouse that is in dire need of repairs. Its walls, floors, and foundation are deteriorating, and the old wiring is a fire hazard. Had he survived, Tim would have and could have turned this dilapidated house into their dream home. It is now up to Ty and his designers to do just that, for with Tim’s untimely passing, Arlene and the boys are desperate for help.

Spectators are encouraged so come on out and cheer the builders and volunteers on.


(As an aside, my wedding reception was held in Holt. It's a nice little town about a half hour north of where I grew up.)
