Meet the Fifita Family
Brian and Lisa Fifita stand alongside the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition design team, host Jesse Tyler Ferguson and two of their five children outside their California home. The family has worked hard to accommodate friends and family from the community in an effort to create a safe space. After suffering the loss of a loved one due to gang violence, the family leaned onto their native Tongonese values to foster a welcoming, loving and helpful culture among their children and their friends. Recipients of a local Parents Hero Award, the family has made a big impact in their community, but the condition of their home had fallen by the wayside.
In making repairs and upgrades, the team hopes to make it easier for the family to continue to give back, and offer their home and property as a safe space for others. It's time to see the modern Polynesian dream house for yourself!
