| John and Monica Kubena and their seven-year-old identical twin daughters, Tara and Sara, who both suffer from leukemia were currently living in a trailer, all were moved into a brand new, spacious home that was built in a remarkable seven days thanks to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
The odds of identical twins developing the same form of childhood leukemia at the same time are so astronomical that even the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society don't have statistics on it, but that's exactly what happened to the Kubena family of East Bernard, TX. Since they were two years old, Tara and Sara have undergone several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation before they were both declared to be in remission. After years of being in isolation from their peers in order to protect their fragile immune systems, the twins were finally able to go to school and play with other children, which was something they had always dreamed of. However, recently Tara's leukemia relapsed. Her best chance at survival was a bone marrow transplant, which she received in October of 2005. |

In order for Tara to fully recover, she must live under certain strict conditions, one of which is to be completely separated from her other siblings -- Sara, as well as nine-year-old sister Kelley and 17-year-old half-brother Brady. Children carry many germs, and at this point in her recovery, this could kill Tara. Unfortunately the Kubenas lived in a cramped, single-wide trailer where Tara shares a room with Sara and Kelley. Nor could the Kubenas afford to add anything on to their tiny home to accommodate their sick daughter's needs.
The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the design team demoed their very first trailer and made room in a brand new house for Tara to recover. And the Kubenas, who have endured a double dose of pain and financial hardship, will get it all back ten-fold! |

What a wonderful, heartwarming, and rewarding experience it has been for our company to be involved in helping Royce Builders and the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team! Our business is family owned and operated, so this has been a very special opportunity for our team to help another family.
During the installation of the wastewater treatment system, each of us had the privilege to meet so many wonderful people including members of the Kubena family--a well deserving family. We realize that the Kubena family has many more struggles ahead. We will continue to keep the Kubena family in our prayers for good health and happiness. God bless this family and all who worked together to make this projects such a success!
