Family

Meet The Stockdales.

Ryan and Karia Stockdale married and moved into Karia's childhood home after she graduated from High School. They have four beautiful children, ages 2-6, and all four children suffer from an extremely rare white blood cell disease, called Eosinophilic Esophagitis, that affects major systems of the body.

This disease attacks the blood, lungs, kidneys, esophagus, and digestive system. The most significant consequence of this disease is the children's inability to eat food, they are tube-fed a special type of liquid food.

The condition of the Stockdale home is jeopardizing the health of their children. The water and ventilation systems are bad. The home is not insulated. There is a well in the basement that leaks. Recently, Ryan decided to go back to school to find a cure for his children, and is a full-time student at Boise State University majoring in Immunology. He also works full time to support his family. Karia stays at home with the children and is involved in many charitable works with her church group and the local elementary school. By building this family a new home, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and CBH Homes will help the Stockdale's on their mission to find a cure for this disease, provide a safe environment for their children, and give them a lasting home.
