In 1995, Colleen Nick and her oldest daughter went to a friend's Little League game in Alma, Arkansas. The oldest daughter, six-year-old, Morgan, disappeared and has never been found. On advice from law enforcement, Colleen and her two remaining children moved to Alma and settled into a small house. Colleen started the Morgan Nick Foundation, which assists families in locating missing children, and was instrumental in Arkansas' adoption of a statewide AMBER Alert program.

After 16 surgeries and months of rehabilitation, he returned to his wife and their two daughters in Clarksville, Tennessee, and continued to serve in the Army as an instructor in combat medicine at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. However, since he had to use crutches to walk, his home was ill-suited for his new needs. The team came to build him a home more suited for an amputee. While they worked, the family was sent to a rehabilitation facility in Ohio where Luis was fitted for a new prosthetic leg. Austin Peay State University provided the remaining tuition for Lillian to finish her master's degree in social work (her goal is to counsel military families who have gone through what she has with Luis).

The camp also lacked housing for volunteer workers. The team, led by Steve Butcher of PB2 Companies, came to the camp and not only built a new house for the Teas family, but also added two new buildings to the camp, one for volunteer housing and the other as a recreation room for campers and staff.[n 1] Ty’s secret room – A special play center dubbed 'The Silver Lining' Special guests - Trisha Yearwood, Lance BassDesign team – Ty, Ed, Tanya, Preston, Paul | ||||

However, Tara's leukemia later returned. She underwent a successful bone marrow transplant, but her immune system remained weak, forcing her and her mother to live in a recovery center in Houston, Texas while the rest of her family stayed in their trailer. Since Tara's condition prevented the entire family from going on vacation, the team put the rest of the family up at a hotel near the recovery center where Tara and Monica were staying. The team built a new two-story home complete with a hospital-grade filtration system so Tara could return home. The Kubenas received a certificate entitling them to a week at Walt Disney World later, and were also given a new Ford Escape Hybrid; in addition, the community raised over $125,000 to assist with medical expenses.

On April 11, 2005, his 19th wedding anniversary, John White, the pastor of Bluestem Baptist Church in Dewey, Oklahoma, died of a heart attack. He left behind his wife Danna and their five children (four girls and one boy, all 12 and older), who had to move from the parsonage where they had been living. The community had raised funds for the surviving Whites, who were able to buy a large piece of property and two run-down trailers. However, one of the two trailers that were joined into a double-wide was a modular office that had yet to be converted to a home. The trailers had no heat, shower, hot water, insulation, kitchen, door locks, or electricity, and were on a different property from the one Danna had purchased. Three of the four girls had to sleep in a triple bunk, and the other girl slept in Danna's room. During some winter nights, the children had to sleep at friends' homes to stay warm. While the family was sent to Longboat Key, Florida, the team built them a new house on their new property. As extra gifts, Oklahoma Wesleyan University offered full scholarships to all five children, and the homebuilders supplemented the community's fundraising efforts for the Whites with an additional $50,000. The builders also gave the family (more specifically, one of the daughters) a horse, and another daughter, an aviation buff, was given free skydiving lessons once she turned 16. The most unusual room was a chapel, the first such room created on EM: HE. The chapel was fully stocked with John's collection of books, as well as over 500 brand-new books courtesy of the Tulsa LifeWay Christian Store and representatives of LifeWay Christian Resources. Danna also expressed a desire to have Bibles on-hand to donate to different groups and members of the community. In a partnership with the publisher Broadman and Holman, LifeWay supplied 1,000 Bibles for the White family.As the Whites went on vacation, Ty asked Danna what to do with the trailers. She expressed a wish to help Susie Jackson, a close friend in her church. Susie had left her abusive husband, taking her three children with her, and rented a run-down trailer. The Jacksons cleaned a nearby Christian school in exchange for the children being allowed to attend there. This episode would indicate for the first time EM: HE would help two families instead of one, and featured the first 'double reveal' (the Jackson family's reveal was on day five).[n 1] Ty's secret room - The old trailers were moved to the White family's property, which was much larger than needed for their new home.

Shortly after the hurricane, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, making it physically and financially impossible for him to work on his home. At that time, he arranged for his sister, with two children of her own, to move in so that she could take care of his family should he die. In another two-parter, the team sent the family to a nearby resort, allowing the ailing Dunstin to be close to his hospital, while they built a new home. Ty and the team made the demolition into a rap video (Dunstan's nephew, Prince, is a rap fan), and used the monster truckGun Slinger to start the process. The home was built with walls that could withstand a Category 5 storm, and windows capable of withstanding Category 3 winds. The homebuilders Majestic Homes, now bankrupt, who worked with the team said that the mortgage would be torn up during the unveiling, giving Dunstan free and clear title to his new home, however the mortgage was not actually paid off until August 31, 2006 - after Dunstan Rainford had died.[n 1][n 5] Ty's secret room - Dunstan's master bedroom, featuring models of the entire family's feet Special guest - Damian MarleyDesign team - Ty, Michael, Eduardo, Paige, Daniel | ||||

While she tried to repair the damage, a fire destroyed the rest of the home, leaving a burned-out shell. She continued to live and operate her ministry out of the shell. In another two-parter, the team sent the Holmes family to Disneyland while they demolished the shell (first using members of Disney World's Green Army, then using a modified tank loaned by the local sheriff's office) and built a new home (as with the Rainford family's house, it was designed to withstand hurricane-force winds), as well as a new headquarters for Sadie's ministry next to the house. Tyson Foods donated 16 tons of food to Sadie's ministry during the rebuild, which the team distributed. The builders (Mercedes Homes) gave $175,000 to cover living expenses, and the family also received Orlando Magicseason tickets.

Beverly Turner of Irvington, New Jersey has spent the last 20 years raising 18 adoptive and foster children, many of them special-needs. Nine of them were still living with her in September 2005 when their house was destroyed in a fire. The family was selected largely through the efforts of the priest at Beverly's Greek Orthodox church, who started a charitable foundation for the family. David Turner an Insulation contractor from Big Canoe, Ga helped advise. The two-hour season finale saw two construction firms join forces to build a new home on the site of the burned house while the family was sent to Tucson, Arizona. The heads of both firms operated excavators to demolish the old home. The new three-story home of over 5000 square feet (465 m²) was one of the largest ever built on the show. Ty was also able to get the builders to completely renovate the neighborhood park nearest to Beverly's home, in exchange for the builders having full access to the show's bus for the week of the build. In the largest single monetary gift in the show's history, the builders gave $300,000 to the family (the bulk provided by the builders themselves); the heads traveled to Tucson with Michael to announce the gift in person.
