Frisch Family

Each time I watch this programme I am blown away by the generosity of the crew, the community and the construction companies that donate their skills and time to the creation of a family home for deserving families who have experienced such immense hardship.
This episode is about a family who have adopted children from different backgrounds. Some of the children have come from Haiti the only 4th World country in the Western hemisphere. Living in orphanages, on the streets and in dire circumstances.

Mrs Frisch has various health problems and has undergone surgery, suffered strokes, had a small hole in her heart and suffers during cold weather.

The team sent one of the designers away with the family on their holiday. During the holiday they go to an air strip to be involved in the loading of toys and equipment that is to be sent to Haiti for children who do not have anything.

The boys from Haiti have made a promise that they will go to college, become successful in their chosen careers and return to Haiti to give back to their country all that they have been given during their lives in America.

This programme reminded me of the film "Pay It Foward."Pay it Forward [DVD] [2001] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it to you.




If you haven't seen Extreme Makeover yet, switch channels, you will be glad you did.
