Former Navy chaplain Barbara Marshall will appear during the season premier of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on 25 September at 7:00 -9:00 pm EDT on the ABC Television Network. Barbara is committed to assistance for homeless Veterans. Using her own funds, she established The Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House in Fayetteville, NC.
Jubilee House offers shelter, support and services such as mentoring and life coaching to homeless female veterans. Jubilee House needed additional space and resources to continue its work with the women. With the help of First Lady Michelle Obama, a paratrooper team from the U.S. Army, other service members, and Ty Pennington from “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” a new Jubilee House will be unveiled on 25 September.
Mrs. Obama, Ty Pennington and the “EM: HE” team of designers Paul DiMeo, Tracy Hutson, John Littlefield, Sabrina Soto, local builder Blue Ridge Log Cabins and community volunteers helped build the new Jubilee House.
