Champion Construction is Proud Participant in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Champion Construction of Sharpsburg, GA is a proud participant in the popular ABC Series, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, surprising the Simpson family in GA with a home of their dreams. 

On November 12, 2010, Carmen and Jim Simpson and their three children were enjoying a special Southern cooked breakfast from celebrity chef Paula Deen.  At her restaurant located in Savannah, Georgia's historic district, she was honoring the Simpsons along with other families for their volunteer and charity work. It was there that the Simpsons learned they would be the latest recipients of a home makeover.

Their son, Zoë, is a medical miracle baby who has beaten the odds at every turn in his young life. When Zoë was born, he was given 24 hours to live. He came into the world prematurely with a deadly condition as well as detached retinas that guaranteed blindness. Even if he did survive, the doctors said he would never breathe on his own, much less see or walk.  But Zoë (which means “abundant life”) perplexed the experts as his eyes healed and his lungs began to work on their own. Surpassing every medical expectation and explanation, today Zoë is a happy two-year-old and although developmentally delayed, continues to grow and thrive.

The family feels so blessed after the miracle of Zoë's recovery that they continue to repay the blessing as far and wide as possible. They look for ways to serve their community and even keep a wish list of things they want to do for others. The Simpsons, who moved to Savannah for Zoë and his visits to the hospital, needed a home that was more conducive to his medical needs. Despite their current living conditions, the Simpsons maintained hope and a positive attitude toward life's challenges. The Simpson family also includes an eight-year old and a four-year old.

Champion Construction assisted by providing drying and cleaning services, including dehumidification and round-the-clock monitoring and labor. These services helped to expedite the drying of the drywall, primer, and paint in the interior and exterior of the home. The project was completed the week of November 12 in Savannah, GA.
