Linda, Emily's mother, has relentlessly tried to get funding to renovate her home. She even applied for an appearance on the Extreme Home Makeover Show aired on ABC numerous times, and was unsuccessful. Sheg Aranmolate, of Oprah's "Big Give" will make a personal appearance to endorse this eco-friendly project at the home of CEO/Founder, Bonnie Ross-Parker as part of the sixth anniversary celebration on Saturday, August 16th at noon. Sheg Aranmolate, author of inspirational title iActuate, wholeheartedly supports this project and is thrilled to be part of the "Dream Team" that will make it possible for the Katz family to live functionally. When asked why this project is so endearing, he says, "This project is near and dear to me because of what it stands for. As the co-founder of the Aranmolate Foundation for Deformed Children and a young man who strives to help the less-fortunate, when I read Linda Katz's letter, I was touched and empowered by her resilience, and it further affirms the reason why the foundation exists - to be a resource to families such as The Katz's."

Bonnie Ross-Parker, excited to mark the sixth anniversary celebration with this "Go Green"project shares, "When Linda exhausted her reasonable options, she reached out to me in tears needing help to make her home more functional for her family. I was immediately touched. I just knew I had to help."
