BILLINGS - "This is a life-changing experience, most definitely," said Lori Johnson, volunteer.
Once upon a time a community came together to build one of their own a brand-new home.
"Just to help this family out, they've done so much to give back to not just this community, but worldwide," added Johnson.
For the love of a neighbor they come, from all walks of life setting aside their own struggles and strife.
"Oh absolutely, because you can either sit in a corner or go out and work and help the community and help yourself, which is what she does," said Flo McMasters.
It is quite a sight this sea of blue, the back of their shirts say just what they do.
"When they come out they don't know what to expect, and when they leave they're just saying, 'what a great day we've had out here' said McMasters.
Work does not stop when the sun goes down. Many of the hundreds of volunteers head out here after putting in a full-day at their every day job and they said they would have it no other way.
"We're out here for a great cause," said Dustin Davison, volunteer from Berkley Siding and Windows. "It's for a great family, they're very deserving and it's just really great to be out here with all the guys."
"It's like nothing else I've ever done," said Trevor Berkley, volunteer of Berkley Siding and Windows. "We are all grouped together, we don't normally all work together like this, and it's just something that I can't ever describe."
"When this episode airs it's gonna kick butt," exclaimed Johnson. "It's like, we're in Billings, Montana and we're doing this for this family who've given back so much. It's just awesome!"
Volunteers range in age from the youngest accepted, 18, to 78 years old, and have been working hard all week.
Now, the Carter's are receiving this extreme makeover after an extreme search to look for families in need.
ABC chose them after months of searching and meeting with other families across state, and after receiving hundreds of nominations from people around the world.
It is the family's dedication to education about this rare disease, Chiari Malformation, which affects two, and possibly all four women in the family, that got them the makeover. The family carries the burden of a half million dollars in medical debt from handfuls of brain surgeries, and they were living in a refurbished chicken hatchery.
They are not asking for any of this, but family friends are. They want to raise the money to pay the mortgage of the new house and hopefully have some extra dollars leftover to ease that enormous medical debt.
