That's A Very Extreme Makeover
Dec. 8 2008, Published 6:25 a.m. ET
An Oak Park, Michigan, family whose home was featured on TV's Extreme Makeover may lose it to foreclosure.
Larry Vardon and his wife Judy got into debt due to medical care for their 16 year-old son, Lance who is blind and autistic. Insurance didn't cover his $20,000 bills.
The Vardons also got clobbered when their adjustable mortgage rate jumped to 11 percent.
And, ironically, their property taxes leaped by $1,000 when the house got its redo.
To make things absolutely worse, Larry is in danger of losing his job at the Chrysler Stamping Plant in Sterling Heights.
Concerned folks have set up a Friends of the Vardon Family Fund, P.O. Box 721084, Berkley, MI 48072-0084.
