Oakwood Homes rebuilding lives on Extreme Makeover
I have been known to cry while watching movies, tv shows, and even the occasional commercial. Last night was a new experience for me, as I found myself fighting back tears during the Atlanta HBA’s installation of new Housing Institute president, Tony Perry. During the ceremony, we saw a brief video from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Tony’s company, Oakwood Homes, is working on an amazing project for a family in need:
While the family relaxes in California, crews directed by the show’s experts and Woodstock-based Oakwood Homes will, in less than a week, complete [a house for the Tipton-Smith family], using hundreds of artisans working simultaneously.
According to the article, Tipton-Smith family has endured a series of painful blows over the last two years, including the death of a child. The Oakwood Team is helping them recover from their tragedies.
