A History of Philanthropy Made Green-certified Legend Homes an Easy Choice for Extreme Makeover: Ho...(early 700 individuals who donated materi...),Health

"We are in constant communication with the Byers family and they know we are there to support them by completing the details and standing behind the home that was generously donated to them," says Mike Goodrich, director of production, vice president Legend Homes, Corvallis Communities.

Goodrich and Chapman and many others on Team Legend worked 20-hour shifts during the entire Extreme Home Makeover build for the Byers family. Goodrich says no one complained, because the project was about building a new home as a haven to help the Byers with the challenges they face.

"Unfortunately, Legend Homes can't cure Boey's cancer, nor can we solve many of the other obstacles created by their situation. But we did create a new home where they could live and heal together. We've accomplished that and shown the community it is possible to do great things where people are willing to work together in the name of love."
