Several janitors were in attendance along with representatives from their union—Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 615—and members from various progressive groups.

Home Edition brought in its army of designers, led by bullhorn-wielding host Ty Pennington, to do what it does best: destroy a home in order to save it. After shipping Harris and kin off for a week's vacation in Carlsbad, Calif., 100 workers and neighbors tore her home down to the foundation and built a new, bigger one. They replaced the Christmas toys and donated appliances, mattresses and landscaping to her flood-stricken neighbors. They even threw in a basketball court for the neighborhood kids...
