Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Many Horry County charities are experiencing a boom in donations despite the community's recent outpouring of support for victims of the earthquake in Haiti and to help build an "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" home in Horry County.
The canned food drive with the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" met its goal, raising just over 100 tons of food for area needy in a few weeks.
Derrick and Amanda Suggs and their family stressed how thankful they are to those who helped build their house as they looked forward to their first night in the new home Tuesday.

The family's home was built by Derrick's grandfather in 1953.
