After Angie left her job, we had to stretch the money we were living on. When summer came, the school systems were offering breakfast and lunches to children. We would take the children in during the week for breakfast. The women that ran the program got to know us and our children. As June dissolved into July, the women told us that they would be leaving soon. They were only scheduled through summer school, but the program would go for the rest of the summer.
The last few days approached, one of the women went up to Angie. She told her that she hoped we would not get upset, but they had sent our story to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They wanted a videotape of our family and house. We both got choked up at this. We agreed to have them come over to videotape. The week ended and we never saw the women again. They did not show and we did not have any way of contacting them. I even emailed the principal of the school. Looking into the program, I found out that it was cancelled. They would be doing an episode for the holidays. There was no way for us to get in contact with the producers.
I did find it weird that someone would tell someone a story like that and not follow through with what they started. Maybe we were on an episode of Punked! or Hidden Video.
