Wow Wow Wow Wow is really the only way to sum up this show!! Not only is it amazing to see such community spirit in building the families new homes but some of the people themselves are incredible!
There are two that really stand out for me:
Garrett Grommesh
He is a 10 year old boy with Spinabifida who doesn't let his disability phase him at all! There home before the show was quite small & narrow so it was hard for him to move around as much as he would like to but he still tried. His parents setup & run a non-profit organisation called Hope inc which brings other wheelchair children together in sports activities & events that they wouldn't normally be able to do. The whole family is an inspiration really.
However the pinnacle of this story is that not only is he an inspiration to so many but he is also so unselfish. A young Kosovan girl who befriended him at school & saw past the disability, touched him so much that even given the chance of a new home he still requested that the old house be given to his friend in order to make their lives better.
Such a remarkable young boy who I hope will go on to do many great things. He has definitely inspired & motivated me to try a make a difference in whatever way I can.
Finis Gaston
A young African-American male who gave up a college scholarship in Gymnastics to look after his niece & nephews after his mother passed away. Not only that but he actually taught himself gymnastics from watching it on the TV & now teaches other children in gymnastics & cheer leading.
His positivity & optimistic outlook on life is what inspires me about him. The home they rented before the show was practically falling apart. There were holes in the walls; the house was just a wreck! In spite of that he was still smiling & cheerful.
Amazing guy!
The show awesome & I love it. It always restores my faith in human nature on so many levels!!
