A good deed for someone in need

The producers of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" are asking for your help.

They're eager to make over a home for an area family. They're not looking for those who want to look good; rather, they're hunting for those who do good.

Does this sound like someone you know?

The ABC-TV show, seen locally on WEWS-TV 5, performs home makeovers for families that have suffered major setbacks, yet still perform good deeds or make a difference in the lives of others. Some examples cited by producers include the Bliven Family of Minot, N.D., who started a youth baseball program for children with special needs.

If you know a family in Northeast Ohio who qualifies, contact emheohio@gmail.com. Deadline for hero nominations is March 24. They should include the names and ages of each member of the household, along with a description of the major challenges within the home. You also should include contact information of the family you're nominating.

So, area readers, put your thinking caps on. It's time to do your good deed for the day — remember those who do good and deserve a helping hand.
