Having experienced a childhood of hardship, Clara vowed to make a difference for the next generation. Neither modest means, nor the challenges of Myostenio Gradi, a degenerative muscular disease, have stopped her so far. For decades, Clara has put her personal needs second to feeding, clothing and nurturing children in her home, organizing charitable drives, arranging field trips, tutoring, giving cooking lessons and much more. But the rampant disrepair of her crumbling two-story home -- including a cracked foundation, a leaky roof, peeling walls and a faulty sewage line -- increasingly threatens the life-long mission that means so much to Clara and the people in her neighborhood. Furthermore, the house lacks the wheelchair accessibility she needs, requiring her to stay with her daughter and head back and forth each day.
Cosentino®, the maker of Silestone® quartz countertops, joined with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to provide countertop surfaces, fabrication and installation with hands-on involvement from Advanced Surfaces at the Ward build site. Cosentino donated Silestone® quartz for the Kitchen and Activity Room in the colors Grey Amazon and Blanco Maple. These colors were the most preferred out of the choices the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designers proposed for each room.
