Auction Benefiting the Hampton Family

In honor of the Hampton Family, PFI and Lucchese have teamed up to create a men's and women's Handmade Lucchese Classic boot, which is made of soft buffalo calf leather on both the foot and shaft. In addition, the boots feature the Extreme Makeover Home Edition logo, which is embroidered onto the shaft. Each boot is signed personally by Ty Pennington...which makes these boots priceless!

On Wednesday, September 30th, these boots will be available for auction, with the proceeds going to the Hampton Family. The conclusion of the auction will be on October 4th at midnight.

Letter From The Hampton Family

We would like to thank God for the many blessings we have received. We wish to give our most sincere thanks and blessings to all of those who had a hand in the building of our home. Our most sincere gratitude also goes out to those who could not help, but were here to give their support. We cannot thank the hundreds of local businesses enough for the products and time that they have put into this home. The outpouring of love and selflessness that we have seen in this community is amazing.

We want to make sure you are aware that the vastness of detail you all put into this project has touched every aspect of our lives. It's not just the home but every special gift that was left, every prayer that was prayed over, competition coming together as one to do something special for someone else, the letters we have received in the mail, and the smiles and tears that have been shared. Every kind hearted thing is what has made this all so special and will be with us the rest of our lives.

Our lives have not been the only ones touched. The lives of the whole crew from ABC have also been touched. They could not express to us enough the generosity and outpouring of kindness they had seen in this community. So we say� "Thank You Ozarks" for once again, showing the world that the people here are hard working, loving, and most of all, willing to lend a hand. You did not question to give, even to someone you don't know. Your willingness to help others without question is absolutely amazing. The many gifts and blessings we have received will be paid forward as God will have us to do.

Sam and Michelle Clifton and their whole team at Millstone Homes have to be the most wonderful people that we have ever met. Not only to take on a project that has been in the design stage for a very short time, but to put this whole thing together in a week. With help of thousands of volunteers and skilled tradesmen alike shows true passion. We want to thank our friends and family for standing beside us and making sure everything went without a hitch. Your blood, sweat and tears are a true testimony for your love of building and selflessness for all. Again we can not tell you enough how much we appreciate all you have put into are beautiful home. We know that God places people in our lives for a reason. We are truly looking forward to many years of friendship and fellowship with the Clifton's and their team. We hope that God will bless all who were involved in this project the way that he has blessed us.

God Bless,

Chris & Niki Hampton and Family
"The Hampton 8"
