NORTH WILDWOOD – Eileen McGarry of North Wildwood recently traveled to Joplin, Missouri — the site of a devastating tornado that swept through the area in May, 2011. Her motivation for going was extreme, Extreme Makeover Home Edition that is.
In a supposed-to-be 6 hour shift that turned into 24 straight hours at the build site, Eileen moved furniture, gardened, landscaped, painted, cleaned, and made lasting memories in and around the 7 houses currently under construction. These 7 homes, built in only 7 days, became the havens for 7 families greatly affected by the May storms.
A recent Master’s level graduate of Sacred Heart University’s Isabelle Farrington School of Education, Eileen was unable to secure a permanent teaching position. She has decided to make the best of her year off and use it to travel, explore, adventure, and help as many people as possible.
The trip to Joplin was her first of many adventures and she is currently preparing to travel to Indianapolis, Indiana to volunteer at the 2012 Super Bowl. Be sure to look for Eileen on Jan. 20, 2012 as ABC airs their 200th episode of Extreme Makeover!
