Dallas Police Department couple living in Lancaster needs help to get on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition

I am writing everyone asking for your assistance for one of our own. It has been 9 months (October 17, 2007 to be exact); since DPD Lt. Carlton Marshall was struck by a bullet while serving a Narcotics Search Warrant. Carlton is the husband of our very own Officer Susan Marshall. Susan and Carlton have faced many setbacks throughout his healing process that included Meningitis, Blood Clots, Stroke, hearing loss, and partial paralysis which has left him in a wheelchair.

Carlton has recently been released to go home and still attends many hours of therapy each day becoming stronger in effort to one day gain full mobility.

For those of you that do not know, Susan and Carlton live in Lancaster in an older home. In light of the modifications needed (ie:larger hall ways, door frames, accessibility of everyday things, including areas to play with his children; and of course physical therapy areas), I nominated the Marshall’s for an ABC Extreme Home Makeover.

All of the documentation that ABC required was sent in June of 2008; but this is a long process and the application said it could take months. Susan has recently received an e-mail that indicated the Extreme Home Makeover is in the DFW metroplex and is looking for “hometown heroes” deserving of such an opportunity.

You will need to e-mail the producers to nominate the Marshalls. I am asking that each one of us find the time to send an e-mail supporting Susan and Carlton and nominate them for the Extreme Home Makeover.
