Extreme Home Make Over - Benefit Concert

Friday, July 15, 2011 at the Town Park in Madison, GA - A benefit concert was held for the Rucker Family Fund. I helped sent up for vendors and sold concert t-shirts. I was able to meet the band - Drivn'n'Cryin and Ty Pennington! I had fun and made special lifetime memories. On 7/16/11 between 2pm-4pm -- MOVE THAT BUS and the Rucker Family will receive their new home. I will get to see everything in October 2011 when the show airs- who knows, I may make the show due to the camera crew filmed me during special tasks for the show.

Extreme Home MakeOver - Day 5 - Madison, GA

Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 7pm til 2am - I volunteer to help build a new home for the Rucker Family in Madison, GA. I unloaded fence post, handed out water to the skilled workers, cleaned inside of the house, helped lay sod and many other task. It was adventure I will always remember. The family was chosen due to Anaiah saved her little sister, Camry, by pushing her out of the way of a truck and took the blow herself. Anaiah had severe injuries and is getting better each day. The show will air in October 2011.
