MACKEY MIRACLE MAKEOVER KEEPS ON GIVING
Plaskoff Construction Donates Ventura Blvd. Office Suite to "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" Recipient.
Los Angeles, CA
(October 25, 2004) – Matt Plaskoff not only built the miracle
makeover home for Consuela Mackey on last night's “Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition,” he also helped her makeover her business.
Mackey, owner of
Operation Confidence, a non-profit organization that provides job training
and employment services for people with disabilities, was awarded a
one-year lease to a newly madeover Ventura Boulevard office as a special
bonus to her “extreme makeover”.
Mackey, who has run the non-profit
out of her cramped and rundown home in Granada Hills, was in tears when
she learned of the new office.
“I’m
forever grateful to Matt Plaskoff - he has no idea what he’s done
for Operation Confidence,” Mackey said. “This is the best
thing I ever could have hoped for - there is no description of how I
feel at this point other than humbly grateful.”
Plaskoff, the show’s
General Contractor for this episode, and Construction Consultant for
the show, was thrilled to be in a position to help Mackey and Operation
Confidence.
“There are
rare times in life when you are able to use your talents and skills
to help others that truly need and deserve it," said Plaskoff.
“By helping her maintain this amazing organization which helps
the disabled find gainful employment, we’re able to give to more
than just one individual and indirectly are able to help thousands.
I am very proud of that.”
The show, recently nominated
for an Emmy Award, is a race against time on a project that would ordinarily
take four to five months to complete. A team of five designers and over
100 workers have just seven days to completely renovate an entire house
for a deserving family.
“Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition” airs Sundays at 8/7 central on ABC.
