Ep 14. The Riggins Family

The Riggins family is the focus of season 4 episode 14 of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This family of six, including parents Mark and Ashley and their four children, had been living in a cramped and deteriorating trailer for years. The children shared bedrooms and the only bathroom was in disrepair. Furthermore, the trailer was not accessible for their youngest daughter, who uses a wheelchair due to a rare genetic disorder.

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team arrived on the scene and got to work, demolishing the old trailer and starting fresh with a brand new house for the Riggins family. The new house is not only more spacious, but it is also fully accessible for their daughter in a wheelchair. It features wider hallways and doors, lower countertops, and an accessible shower.

The design of the house takes into account the family's love for surfing, as they live near the beach. The house features a "surf room" where the family can store their surf equipment and a mural of a wave on the wall. The interior of the house is decorated with bright colors and funky patterns, reflecting the family's lively spirit.

The makeover also includes a new pool, which is perfect for the family's love of water sports. The pool area is surrounded by a beautiful deck and patio, perfect for entertaining family and friends. In addition, the makeover includes a new play area for the kids, complete with a treehouse and swings.

As always, the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team went above and beyond to give the Riggins family the home of their dreams. The family was incredibly grateful for the new house and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw it for the first time. The episode ends with tears of joy and an overwhelming sense of community spirit, as neighbors and volunteers came together to support the Riggins family. It's a heartwarming reminder of the power of kindness and the importance of coming together to help those in need.
