“Good Morning Carter Family!”

With the help of a megaphone, a Billings family gets the wake-up call of a lifetime.

Billings, MT

With the blast of a bullhorn, the Carter family of Billings opened their door to see Ty Pennington and the rest of the cast and crew from the hit reality TV show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Hearing they were chosen for Montana's one and only build was an answer to their prayers.

For years, the Carters have been struggling with mounting medical bills that have reached the half-million dollar mark. Mother, Julie Carter, and her 21-year-old daughter, Jade, both suffer from a rare congenital defect known as Chiari Malformation. Julie's two other daughters, Saphire and Chalce haven't been officially diagnosed but are showing symptoms. This disease, without a known cure, is a rare abnormality at the base of the brain that results in brain tissue extending into the spinal canal. Eventually, nerves and the center of the spinal cord are damaged and can ultimately lead to paralysis. Because of the family's limited resources, they have lived much of their lives in a restored chicken coop with it's cracked windows and buckling walls. That's about to change.

Thanks to Jeff Junkert Construction and thousands of volunteer hands, there will be a race against the clock to give the Carter family the home of their dreams! The crew has 106 hours to demolish their house and rebuild. It's a job that would normally take at least four months to achieve. The construction marathon will begin Monday, June 25th at 8 a.m. as hundreds of volunteers storm and tear down the house to build it anew. Will the team make it before the Carter family returns on Saturday, June 30? The entire Billings area will have to wait and see.
