Ty Pennington and the cast from ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ surprised one Houston Bay Area family on January 7th with the news that they had been chosen as the finalists in receiving a brand new home. This was more than a nice surprise; this was an overwhelming birthday present for Melissa Beach as she turned 40 that day. The family of 15 had been displaced from their home when Hurricane Ike made its way through the area on September 13, 2008. In seven short days , from January 7 to January 14, hundreds of volunteers and vendors worked together to create a new space this family could call home.
The Beach family has stood strong in the face of odds and challenges. Over the past 12 years the Beach family has fostered approximately 85 children, and after seeing that many of them could not be placed in permanent homes they decided to start adopting. The original Beach family which started with Larry and Melissa on the day they were married 23 years ago, has grown to include four biological children and nine adopted children: Chris (23), Michael (21), Jose (20), Cody (19), Mikala (18), Paul (14), Faith (13), Hope (9), Justin (8), Jacob (4), Grace (4), Jeremiah (23 months), and Mercy (22 months). They took in children that adoption agencies were not able to place and gave them a home full of love.
