"For
One More Day"
Gloria
Brown and her family left a burnt and ravaged home at 285
Hollister Ave. last Wednesday. But a week later, they came back
to a larger, blue home with a white picket fence surrounded by
flowers. Plaques on two stone pillars flanking the driveway read
"The Brown Family" and 285 Hollister Ave. The front porch light
was on at the house that television and local volunteers built
in one week on the ABC show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
