Move the bus is a familiar line if you have ever watched the ABC show Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  The show just wrapped up their visit to Champaign County, specifically Philo, IL.

In a matter of 7 days and countless hours by volunteers, a home was demolished and built to brand new specs.

Brady homes out of Bloomington, IL were the general contractors.

All of the supplies, labor, food etc. were a donation of some sort.  It is amazing to me what a community can accomplish when they put their hearts and minds into a project like this.

It was such a popular undertaking that volunteers were turned away.  The town of Philo is forever changed with this new house standing as a symbol of human compassion.

The family who benifited were a nice story as well.  The family’s name is Montgomery.  Mr. Montgomery works at the Salt and Light food pantry that provides food to the needy.  It sounds as if he has committed his life’s work to helping others.

What a great turn of events that he received this gigantic charity in a new home.  This is exactly the reason I wouldn’t want to live in any other community.
