The Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (CRDN) has helped thousands of families recover after their homes were damaged by fire, smoke, water and even mold. Similarly, the hit ABC-TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has produced life-changing home renovations for many deserving families who have experienced adversity. Just recently, CRDN of Michigan and Northwest Ohio, a division of Huntington Cleaners, was called upon to team up with the show and to provide a very deserving family with more than just a newly built and furnished home.
After visiting poverty-stricken Haiti on a mission trip, Jackie Frisch, an ordained minister, wanted to adopt five boys from an orphanage. She spoke to her husband, Aaron, a firefighter, about her wish and, without having met the boys, he agreed to the adoption. Over the years, the Frisch family continued to adopt three more children, this time from Toledo’s inner city. With three biological and eight adopted children, this big-hearted family of 13 was living in a cramped one-story ranch home without air conditioning, and with windows and doors that need repair. Unfortunately, Jackie’s health has been deteriorating. After five surgeries and being diagnosed with a soft tissue disease called Ehrlers-Danlos Syndrome, Jackie has had a series of strokes that left half of her body paralyzed. Doctors say her condition could lead to a possible fatal relapse. Jackie has undergone catheter heart surgery because of her soft tissue disease. As a firefighter and paramedic for Toledo’s Fire and Rescue Department, husband Aaron has saved many lives including the life of his rescue partner during the Toledo riots in October 2005. He needed help to save his family’s future from falling into jeopardy.
Among the legion of volunteers participating in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition from across the Greater Toledo area, CRDN of Michigan and Northwest Ohio stepped in to contribute a valuable service, thoroughly cleaning clothing and textiles that will help the Frisch family’s new house feel like their home.
