Party time in Pine Mountain
We arrived in Pine Mountain, Ga. yesterday to surprise the Williams family. They are a great, loving family and we’re excited to help build them a new home. The current house has some serious problems like a cracked, sinking foundation and mold-infected walls. This kind of environment isn’t good for anyone, but it’s particularly challenging for the Williams.
The father, Jeremy, is a high school football coach and he suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). His six-year-old son, Jacob, was born with spina bifida and needs a wheelchair. I hope a new home can make their lives – and the lives of mother Jennifer and daughter Josey – a little easier and give them one less thing to worry about. Many thanks to the community volunteers and local builders Nationwide Homes and Palm Harbor Homes.
Here are a few pictures from the start of what we expect to be a fantastic project and show in Pine Mountain:

Oh my gosh, I don’t know how you do it. I’d be a bawling mess every week.
What a gorgeous family!
Thanks for the great pictures and post Ty. See you got some rain yesterday/last night, our yard can’t take much more of this. (You seem to bring a storm everywhere you go.) Anyhow hope to see you sometime if your on site. I’m anxious to work when I have some time to get there.

The gathering, bus in the background…these pictures are priceless! Yes,I agree with what I read above, remember we are out here supporting you guys and sending much love your way! Thanks for posting so many beautiful pics! (Charles or whomever,so great!)
TY! I am so pleased to see that you’re featuring a family affected by ALS! Please do all of us with ALS a favor and show not only what the Dad looks like now, but feature a patient with advanced ALS so that people understand what this disease means. Prayers and blessings for the family and your team for all they do. Thank you for helping to raise awareness of ALS!!!!
Thank You,
As a Patient with ALS or (PALS) I can’t tell you how much good this show will do for a community of sufferers with very little awareness. We all look forward to the show and greatly appreciate the opportunity to show America some of the devastating effects of this disease in hopes it will bring awareness and increased funding for research.

Ty, It’s so nice when you post pictures such as these! I can only imagine the emotion the Williams family is feeling right now! I hope you will have a fantastic time there helping them with the team! Thank you for keeping a daily contact with your audience! That’s very sweet from you and it means a lot of us!
Love and greetings from the sunny land of Surfing…Brazil

I am thankful but wish I had known you were here in Ga. The coach is a very good person for these kids to follow and I would have loved to help out with his house and even the football field at the school that really needs some help. I am a radio DJ for FUN 101.1 FM and I also host “The GA. High School Football Wrap-Up Show” and I have had coach and the guys on all year with their undefeated season. I would love to tell you the story about the field that the school has. I help to raise some money for them but they deserve a real field like all the other schools. Please feel free to contact me at my email or maybe I will see you while you are in town. Thanks for what you are doing for one of our great coaches who really deserves this from you guys.
that is my coz
