Started a twitter campaign about it. I am sure it has been brought to their attention but if you want to do more you can send in a request of nomination for them. You can see how you can do it from their site or email Calista they will send the information. The more nominations they get the better. We could then cheer them all on.

The producers are aware of his request and we have bombarded them on several other occasions. You might also want to ping @calistacares with your other ideas. This is Austin's sister's Twitter account monitored by her mom. Hi Michelle,

I'd think there would have to be a way to bombard EMHE with requests to help this family. As far as a van with a lift, I know that freecharitycars.org supplied a van with a lift for a previous EMHE show at the start of the the new season. They are not allowed to share where the vehicle comes from though. All of the members of this site are all citizens who are kind of falling through the cracks and disabled, vets, homeless and various other forms of upheaval that are hoping that someone donates a vehicle in their area so that they can have even a used car. We formed a group called MustangsKids that we help special needs kids that need vans with a lift and help to promote them and do the voting of their accounts while they are in the hospital or whatever the case may be. I myself am disabled and hoping to get a car. This may be a way for the family to get at least a van with a lift for them. It takes a great deal of work and time though. The good thing about the site is that it really becomes a good support group to everyone that is going through whatever tragic event that they are. I hope that Austin gets his wish...I wonder if there is anything in the disabilities act that could help them get funding to have the house done? Just a thought...

You might also want to tweet @BradyConnell, the exec producer of EMHE. Hi Jacqueline,

I also did a post and plea to Ty and the Extreme makeover team not long ago. The story grabbed my heart and Calista is obviously a remarkable young person. If everyone tweets, FB and emails it will get their attention. Thanks for sharing the story! I am so glad you are sharing this story.

This is the one wish I can't grant without ABC's help. I need all of the help I can get to make this happen for Austin. Jamie ~ Thank you so much for your help trying to make my brother's wish come true. It really means a lot to me.

Do you know a family whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover, or a family who simply deserves a home? If so, the producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition want to hear from you. Please send nominations to castingeriepa@gmail.com The deadline for nominations is March 31, 2011. Don’t delay! Each nomination must include the names and ages of every member of the household along with a description of the major challenges within the home, and a short description of the family story. Anyone submitting a nomination should be sure to explain why the nominated family is deserving, heroic, and/or a great role model for their community. If possible, include recent photos of the family and home. All nominations must include a contact phone number. Thanks! Calista My mom helped me find all of the information:

The email Austin's mom mentions, castingeriepa@gmail.com is for a nomination for the Extreme Home Makeover show. They are looking for people in their area now thus the reason for the resurgence in this blog post. That’s the exciting part.
