Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
The Grommesh Family - Moosehead, MN
What could possibly be better than giving a deserving family a brand new home? How about giving TWO deserving families a brand new home?!
The Extreme Team is off to Moorhead, Minnesota to surprise the Grommesh family. Garrett Grommesh is a young boy who is paralyzed from the waist down. Think that's enough to stop this truly remarkable kid from doing great things? No way! Garrett's place would be fine for anyone who didn't need a wheelchair. So, he wants to pay it forward and give his house to the family of one of his classmates. Told ya he was remarkable!
The Hajdari family came to America from war-torn Kosovo. Arlinda Hajdari never looked upon Garrett as a kid in a wheelchair. She only ever saw him as her friend. Arlinda and her family have no idea Garrett wants to give them his home. And we have no idea if Ty and the team can actually build two new homes in just seven days!
Ty, Paul, Paige and Eduardo surprise the Grommesh family at an ice skating rink where Garrett plays hockey. The family runs an organization called Hope, Inc., which allows kids with disabilities to play sports in totally cool ways. More on that later. Right now, the Grommesh clan is off to the Bahamas while the Extreme Team jacks up their old house and moves it to a new location where it will eventually get some new owners.
Paul goes on covert mission to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He's on the hunt for top secret plans to create a secret agent room for Garrett. Ty works on the master bedroom for Bill and Adair Grommesh. Paige wants to make a volleyball-inspired room for Garrett's sister, Peighton. Eduardo oversees things at the location of the Hajdari home build.
Remember the Hope, Inc. organization we mentioned earlier? Well, Ty lets the Grommesh family know that they are setting a world record by using the most people in wheelchairs to create a logo. Over 300 people cover a huge field to form the logo for Hope, Inc. The great news doesn't end there. The folks over at CVS pharmacy provide brand new custom wheelchairs for Hope, Inc. so they can break even more records in the future.
