The pictures shown are from ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition. We were thankful to be a part of this episode, and helping out the Woodhouse family. All products and work was volunteered and donated.
It’s been a long road for the Woodhouse family. Kayla, age 10, suffers from a rare neurological disease where her body lacks the ability to regulate temperature or feel pain. Cooling functions, such as sweating, don’t kick in until her body reaches a lethally high temperature. Kayla is one of only a handful of people nationwide with incurable hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy. She must wear a special vest with cold packs, can only go outside after sundown and the house thermostat must stay below 62 degrees.
Because of the burden of high medical bills for Kayla, the family’s home was in danger of foreclosure this past spring. Jeremy Woodhouse is an assistant pastor for the Falcon Baptist Church in Colorado Springs. His church family donated a home site for the family and entered them into the TV contest for the new home.
The Woodhouses’ new home is in Premier Homes’ new subdivision, located east of Colorado Springs. A special feature of the home that was built to help Kayla is a highpowered cooling system to keep the temperature at or below 62 degrees year-round. An alarm goes off if the temperature gets above 62 and there’s also a back-up system for times when the power goes out. Because the family can’t go out to enjoy life as many people can, the builder brought some of those things indoors to them. The basement features a bowling lane, an ice cream shop and a “drive-in” movie theater complete with old cars.
Bruno's Heating and Cooling installed the entire heating and cooling system into the woodhouses's home, making the house comfortable and meeting the health needs of Kayla.
