Nick Reeder is given a new beginning, thanks to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition design team, his CalFire brotherhood and the extended firefighter support network. During the birth of their twins, his wife suffered a fatal complication, leaving the new father to raise his infant daughters, Kaia and Kelce, as well as their big sister, Layla, as a single parent. His mom, Jeanine, moved in to help, and in order to make due, the family downsized into a 900-square foot, two-bedroom apartment. Having sacrificed privacy and space for affordability while they grieved, the family of five receives a new comfortable home that honors their past, and evokes happiness for the future.
