In 1995, Colleen Nick and her oldest daughter went to a friend's Little League game in Alma, Arkansas. The oldest daughter, six-year-old, Morgan, disappeared and has never been found. On advice from law enforcement, Colleen and her two remaining children moved to Alma and settled into a small house. Colleen started the Morgan Nick Foundation, which assists families in locating missing children, and was instrumental in Arkansas' adoption of a statewide AMBER Alert program. Her home was all but destroyed by a water heater explosion. In a two-part episode, the team demolished the old house and rebuilt on the site.

In December 2003, a U.S. Army combat medic, Master Sergeant Luis Rodriguez, lost his right leg in Iraq. After 16 surgeries and months of rehabilitation, he returned to his wife and their two daughters in Clarksville, Tennessee, and continued to serve in the Army as an instructor in combat medicine at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. However, since he had to use crutches to walk, his home was ill-suited for his new needs. The team came to build him a home more suited for an amputee. While they worked, the family was sent to a rehabilitation facility in Ohio where Luis was fitted for a new prosthetic leg. Austin Peay State University provided the remaining tuition for Lillian to finish her master's degree in social work (her goal is to counsel military families who have gone through what she has with Luis).

Billy Jack and Anne Barrett, real-life "horse whisperers" from Colorado, are the parents of six — two biological and four adopted. Anne left her job to homeschool their adopted children, all now teenagers who had come from abusive pasts and are still catching up with their peers. The Barretts wanted to adopt more children, but their four-bedroom house was too small for their current family, and Colorado law prohibits a family from adopting more children if the adoption would result in more than two children per bedroom. The team built a new house large enough to allow the Barretts to take in more children.
