The people who were at the building of the home for Carl-Joseph Walker-Hoover’s family by Exrteme Makeover are now heroes of mine. You need to understand that most did not know the boy nor the family. They also volunteered their time and were willing to work around, and with, people they probably had never met before in their lives. Not […]
