LEHIGH ACRES, FL -

The Salazar family of Lehigh Acres is home for the holidays, but they're coming home to a house much different than the one they left a week ago. An organization called Builders Care, along with Lennar Homes, chose the family for a remodel after hearing their story.

Jack Turner, Director of Construction at Lennar said: Last Tuesday afternoon, we were tearing out flooring and carpet and this afternoon we were cleaning and presenting the home.

Hugo and Maite Salazar were expecting a few changes here and there, but when they walked through their front door they barely recognized their own home.

The couple moved into the house nine years ago as newlyweds. They had two children Daniel and Daniella, but soon Daniella's health took a turn for the worse. The five-year-old is blind and uses a wheelchair. She also suffers from severe seizures and brain damage.

Just to wake up in the morning or to go to the store, everything is a challenge, explained Maite Salazar.

Their home had limited accessibility for Daniella, but now it has brand new wood floors and ramps. Builders Care also remodeled the home's kitchen, added landscaping, new furniture, fixed up the pool in the backyard, and even created a Batman themed room for Daniel.

It took more than 150 people a week to make it all happen. In the process, they changed the Salazar family's lives for the better and made this Christmas one they'll never forget.

Hugo Salazar said, Complete strangers come in and just bless your lives with their talents. It is an amazing, amazing feeling.

This Builders Care project marks $3 million spent in construction services since 2005.
