Lumber employees were on-site day and night. “It takes a lot of coordination for an entire house to come together this quickly,” said Goodman. “It made me and the other associates involved proud to have been part of doing this for someone in need.” And since members of a hungry
crew have to eat, Island Café and Deli in Pawleys Island was among several eateries ready with food and drinks for those working on the home. Owner Russell Hardee passed out meals at the Wilson build and helped other restaurant and cater- ing personnel feed the laborers and others making the dream a reality. “It was an adrenaline-filled week and mind-boggling to see how the community came together in all aspects of trade in our community,” Hardee remarked. “It was a blessing to watch the whole thing happen.”
COMMUNITY BUZZ As assistant news director for
WPDE News Channel 15, Allyson Floyd has enjoyed a front-row seat for both home makeovers. “When we found out ‘Extreme
Makeover Home Edition’ was coming to Horry County the first time in 2007, there was an im- mediate buzz around the area,” she explained. “Everyone was so excited and wanted to be part of this.” As an ABC affiliate, Floyd’s TV station had full access to the build and spent hour after hour bringing all the excitement of the project to its viewers. It was a powerful experi- ence for all involved, she said. “While the Wilson and Suggs
families were given the gift of new homes, I truly believe those of us who were out there while their houses were built in a week received a far greater gift,” said Floyd.

She was equally impressed by the local businesses that provided labor, materials and other support. “Te volunteers and businesses
didn’t do it for the attention or publicity,” she said. “Tey did it because they wanted to make a posi- tive change in someone’s life.”
