I can't believe I missed this! I think it's a WONDERFUL idea!

As for the taxes:

YES they DO pay off the House..UNLESS it's already paid for in which case they pay the taxes ( I Believe only the land taxes, not school but don't quote me on that) for X amount of years...now they had one show a while back where they paid the taxes for the life of the man they built the house for ON TOP of paying off his home.

You have to remember guys that Jazz isn't a young mom, so the house they build her isn't going to be the ritz, granted it will be bigger than what she has now but it won't be the grand dame we are use to seeing them build for big families.
I honestly believe given Jazz's situation with HER health and the fact that she has Andrew with HIS health we have an excellent chance of pulling this off...I mean come on...If we didn't know her and her story was on TV..wouldn't it make you cry your eyes out for the hour the show is on? I say we go for it...we can always ask the producers of the show the legal stuff about the taxes and whatever else we can think of along with her family. I cry every night when I pray for Jazz...her story (life) is heart wrenching, makes me thank God for my problems cuz they could be a whole lot worse! This is only my opinion.

Ok....so what do we have to do? I'm in and can write whatever letter we need. Who's in charge of this? Let's get moving!

oooh oooh now yah went and done it with this line
that Jazz isn't a young mom
Now you must think I am old

I think this is great news.Count me in.

[nanwu]

don't know what I can do from over here, but count me in!!!!!!

[mswizard]

LOL Eye...what I meant was she doesn't have a passel of 5 kids running around the house half of them in diapers...oh wait, that's ME lol. Gee I wonder if I could get them in here to install my new cupboards......

[pkdoll]

I guess at this point we should start the application process and I think that I will call her sister and see if she is able to videotape the house. I am not sure how long she will get to stay with Jazz so I think I will call her today and see what she thinks of the whole idea. How does that sound?? Talk to you soon and let you know what I find out.

Thanks PK! I am here to help just let me know!

concern over taxes and bigger burden

good news to hear about them paying the taxes for a while. I was just getting caught up on this thread for the past couple of days and thought I would throw this in to ease concerns. Someone mentioned that right now she can not even sell the house (which she can't live in either) unless it was for cash...if it was fixed up, at least she would be in a position to sell it if needed. financially in the long run, having the makeover can only help. That is a step back and removing the emotional aspect of it being her home but from a fiscal approach it puts her on a more sound footing regardless.

I am aboard...let me know how I can help!!

Good point, snickers. (love that name. always makes me want to laugh). Woo hoo! Looks like this could really be a win-win.

Alright girls I talked to Jazz's sister Cathy a few minutes ago and she is very willing to fill out the application and to take pictures/video of the house and family. So next we have to all coordinate writing our little paragraphs of who we are, where we are from, how we know Jazz (Linda), and why we are nominating her for a makeover!! Maybe if you could all write your own paragraph and email them to me-I can print them all off and mail them to Cathy to include with the application. Please let me know what you think about this idea.

Don't see your email on your profile. Can you give it to us? Sounds good to me. Do we need to put in the letter our own contact info for the TV people? HOw do they know you didn't write them all yourself and sign different names? (Am I a suspicious person or what)

Count me in and let me know what and when I need to do anything
