New Lizzie Bell Home
The Lizzie Bell family arrived home a little after 4 pm in the black limo that pulled up behind the Extreme Makeover Home Edition bus.
The family was excited and surprised to see this brand new home standing on the same location there old on was just 7 days ago. It is almost surreal for all of us that have worked tirelessly on this project for the past week. It had to be totally surreal for the family.
The Gallery of Images
The gallery of images grew by more than 100 images since this morning. Unlike the past days of the project when I would shot a couple of times a day and Barbara had a camera with her all the time she was on site to snap candid shots through out the day. Yesterday we were both on hand for the day. We will continue to add images from others who are sending them to us over the next couple of days.
From early morning when people were wondering how it the world it would all come together by the time the family arrived right down to the turning over of the keys and the practice runs with the bus and limo side by side. But come together it did and in a wonderful way. The weather was perfect, 80 degrees was T shirt weather. The crowd gathered through out the day and by the time the family arrived it was ready to give them a very warm Tucson welcome home.
I’ll post a final update when I have the information on the toy, food and blood drive results.
What an amazing experience.
Many Many Thanks to the Volunteers and Workers
This project would not have been possible without all the volunteers and volunteer crafts people that contributed their time, energy, blood and sweat to make this dream come true.

I want to thank Lizzie for being such an inspiration and for being a very courageous young lady. This showing of Extreme Makeover inspired me to move forward with a project of mine that will benefit teenagers. Thank you Lizzie for making my goals possible. It will in turn save many children and teenagers…
