Extreme Home Makeover, Helping Someone in Need-Woodland Park Style

She's lived in Woodland Park for over 25 years. It's home for Michaela Christianson.

For over two years, she's shared her home with her 31-year-old son, who suffers with a flesh eating bacterial disease.

Medical bills have emptied out her pocketbook, and the house she's lived in for so long is falling apart.

If something breaks, Michaela can't afford to fix it.

Thanks to some friends from Summit Salon and Beauty School, that could all change.

A donation can sits at the front desk of the beauty salon in Woodland Park. A small can, with big implications.

Part owner of the salon, April Babin, and other close friends, have teamed up with American Craftsman Homes. They

plan to raise 300,000 dollars to fix up Michaela’s home.

"She is so giving, and she doesn't want to receive this,” said Babin with tears in her eyes.

The money would go toward a complete restoration of Michaela’s home, which definitely needs some work.

Whether it's haircuts for donation, or a can sitting on a desk, a community is coming together to help someone who needs it most.

Summit Salon and Beauty School need your help. They’re asking for volunteers and donations.

Planned Fundraiser’s:
Nov. 8th
Haircuts For Donations, Summit Salon and Beauty School, Woodland Park, 9 A.M.-4 P.M.
Spaghetti Dinner, Fire Protection Station #1, Northeast Teller County, 3 P.M.-7 P.M.
