Call for Action team gives woman an extreme home makeover

(WXYZ) - Inside their cozy, little home in Huntington Woods, Henry Traurig helps his wife Diane with her daily medication, a whole list of medicines that help her deal with the nightmare of Multiple Sclerosis.

“It’s a disease that puts a gun to your head and says, ‘we want everything, no, no, we want everything’”, Diane says.
But now, Diane is in danger of losing the one thing she still has left, her home.

Because her home is so cramped and crowded and isn’t handicapped accessible, Diane is about to be ripped from her husband and children and forced into a nursing home.

But we’re not going to let that happen.

Now, thanks to the Building Industry Association and The Jewish Family Service of Southeastern Michigan, we’re going to do an extreme home makeover. We’re going to change Diane’s home from a cramped prison into a wide open, new home.

Six weeks of hard work and $20,000 later the project is complete.

Now because of all the remodeling and changes we’ve made, Diane can stay in her new home with her husband and her two daughters forever.

Thanks to the efforts of more than 25 people from the building industry association and the Jewish family service Diane has wider doorways, a fully functional modern bathroom and a shower she roll into in her wheelchair, a small miracle for one very special lady.
