A West Toledo neighborhood is buzzing with reality TV fever. The show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has six days to build a family's dream home. The project is underway at 6044 Edgedale Circle near Alexis and Secor.
Toledo area builders are volunteering to help Aaron and Jackie Frisch. They were struggling to raise eleven sons in a small house. Eight kids are adopted. Jackie's mother is watching progress from a lawn chair in a next door yard.
"It's fantastic. They are so deserving. The neighbor around here are the greatest ever. Everybody is letting them do this. And cut down fences trees, put tents in the yard," said Connie Krum, recipients mother.
The show is turning the frenzy into a fundraiser for hurricane victims in Haiti. The recipients want to help the area where five of their adopted children once lived. Spectators are being asked to bring donations of clothing, canned goods and toys starting Tuesday. Shuttles run from Banner Mattress at Douglas and Alexis to the job site.
