The highly anticipated house reveal for a family in Airdrie took place on Monday, August 15.

Shanna Leavitt and her two daughters, 12-year-old Kadence Foley and 9-year-old Addison Foley, got to see their dream home for the first time since taking possession of the donated house in April.

"We've been anticipating this moment for a couple of months now. We sold our house two weeks ago and we've been going from families houses and staying there so this is perfect, this is exactly what we needed in this moment," said Leavitt.

The two girls were diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia, which causes progressive damage to the nervous system and gait disturbance.

The house, which was purchased by an anonymous buyer through the Airdrie Angels program, has been renovated to become wheel chair accessible with the help of many different contracting companies that were able to make it all happen.

Some of the biggest features of the home are the wheel chair lifts that allow the girls to go into the basement and garage, the open exercise area in the basement to allow the girls to be as active as possible, as well as the wheel chair friendly showers that were installed into two of the bathrooms.

"It's over 8,600 volunteer hours, 73 different companies helped out. Over 300 volunteers crossed the threshold. It took 111 days to do the renovation with 40 gallons of paint, 3000 square feet of flooring, hundreds of tiles, there's a lot that went into it," said Michelle Carre, a member of the Airdrie Angels program.

Leavitt and the girls, who have been staying with friends and family for the past couple of weeks, were able to move into their new home immediately and settle in.

"I just want my girls to smile. We've been dealt with a lot and I think this is the start of a new story for us and we get to start this new journey together," said Leavitt.
