 HangSafe Hooks' Kevin and Kirk Schauer specify coat racks for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition building plans.
ABC's hit TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," chose Paul and Cyndy Teas, founders of Camp Barnabas, a camp for children with special needs (www.campbarnabas.org), as the recipients of a much-needed house makeover.
Kevin Schauer, owner of HangSafe Hooks, provided HangSafe Coat Racks for a camp facility being built in addition to the house that same week. Like so many others who knew the Teas' story of self-sacrifice, he was moved to assist in the makeover efforts on behalf of the family he formerly attended church with.
The coat racks were installed in a lodge cabin intended for the camp's volunteer staff. They would be used to store items such as towels, backpacks and other personal belongings. Not only did the coat racks fit the motif of the building, they also provided much needed storage space.
Camp Barnabas is located in Purdy, a small town just an hour outside of Springfield. To start the camp ten years ago, the Teas left their jobs and emptied their savings and retirement accounts. Up to now, they could not justify spending money on their own home if it meant one more child could not attend their camp.
By the time the week was up, Kevin and other members of the HangSafe team were able to volunteer at the Extreme Makeover site for a family they personally felt deserved this gift from the community and ABC network.
