Clarification

I’m not sure how many blog readers go through posts and read the comments, too, beyond the writers and their peers. In light of this question, I want to add a note to the Extreme Community blog. A commenter pointed out that the builder, Atreus Homes, donated all the materials required to make the “Extreme Makeover” show work. Obviously, the credit highlighted in the media aimed toward ABC and Ty, but the volunteers do all the work.

Plus, here’s a quote from Atreus Homes’ website:

The Martinez family has given everything to better the lives of others who are worse off than themselves; even to giving up their own family's home to make room for others who need places to stay. Because of their extreme sacrifice, an entire community has been made a better place. Their efforts to alleviate the many problems in their area have not gone unnoticed, and this week we're giving them an extreme thank you for being the people we all needed them to be.

I applaud the efforts of all the businesses and the volunteers who came together to make the show work. Obviously, I wasn't among them, or I'd know all the business contributors' names, but I want to praise their work.
