Family loses contest but wins in the end

GRADY, AL (WSFA) -

The Massey family from Grady, Alabamawas in the running for a $20,000 dollar home renovation from The Home Depot...as part of a contest for military families.

While they didn't win the grand prize, they still won in the end.

"It's awesome," says Rodney Massey.

Rodney and Tammy Massey received $5,000 dollars as runners-up.

It makes sense they would only receive $5,000 dollars worth of renovations...right?

Weeks later installation on a new front deck, back deck, heating and air unit, shower, toilet, closet, counters, and carpet will soon be complete--all at the hands of company volunteers like James Cannon.

"[We] looked at the list of stuff they had and I brought some of my business partners, installers and contractors and we got everyone excited," says Cannon, an installation executive from The Home Depot.

"It was always kinda hard for me to accept help," says Rodney.

The Massey's have always wanted to renovate their house--ever sinceRodney was hurt serving in the militaryfive years ago. His injuries made it hard to get around the home.
