ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on May 22
May 19 , 2005 by Editor

We are thrilled that the Extreme team reached out to Shea Homes for a second time to help make one deserving family's dreams come true.

In a touching tribute to family and friendship, the Piestewas were nominated for a new home by Loris best friend and fellow soldier Jessica Lynch. Lori gave her life on March 23, 2003, when her unit was ambushed in Iraq, and has become the international symbol of motherly sacrifice. Piestewa, a member of the Hopi Tribe, was the first Native American woman to be killed in combat in a foreign war.

Shea Homes and the Extreme team designed and built a spacious home for fallen soldier Lori Piestewa's parents and children. The opportunity to help Lori's family motivated Shea's 1,300 volunteers to complete the house in just 97 hours.

We hope that you and your family will be able to share in this moving story with Shea Homes May 22 on your local ABC station. Please check you local listings for times. If you would like to know more about this very special project please visit www.sheahomes.com/extreme.
