Ken had emailed the show after he started his own Drywall company a couple years ago and told them he would like to help out if they were ever doing a house in our area. Well he got the call.....
and with such enthusiasm he put together a team to go do the project. Inspite of all the delays, loss of man power, and lack of sleep...he still says he would do it again. The whole Raica Family had a great time. We got to go up each day and watch the house progress through all the phases and well.....meet some stars too!!
Ken was inspired by those who came to help. His brother Tim (above) and his friend Don came from Arizona to be apart of the experience. There were several others that hung in for the long run as the project was delayed and delayed and delayed...... Ken lost man power and lots of sleep due to the project delays. But he still says that he would do it again : )
No Cheyenne that is not Daddy...That is Eduardo!
WOW and Pauly too!
It is time to bring the FAMILY Home!
MOVE THAT BUS!
Or in this case ...Move that Bomb Squad Truck...
Good Work Daddy and all of the Volunteers! Hats off to you........
Watch ABC on Sunday, Dec.10th to see the Episode. It is going to be a two hour episode.....I wonder if it is because the Drywall took so long? Just Kidding! We are so proud of Ken and all his hard work. It is awesome to have a Husband that is so gracious with his time and talents- his efforts and the efforts of all those who volunteered have blessed a family more than they will ever know. You will not believe this story. Please watch the show it is going to be good.
Lots of Love ~ The Raica Family

You will be missed by all who knew you! I take comfort in the statement made by Elder Orson Whitney, Apostle: "No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and make us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we came here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven." Thank you Robin for being such an amazing example to me.
