‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ selects Bastrop County firefighter whose home was destroyed in wildfires
Heart of the Pines Volunteer Fire Deparment firefighter Mizzy Zdroj is getting a new home courtesy of the ABC reality show ” Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
She received the knock today along with husband Chris; their grown daughter, Whitney; and twin 8-year-old boys, Ash and Raistlin. The family is being sent to New York on vacation today, and when they return in a week the community will have built them a new home.
“There will be lots of changes, but we have a lifestyle to live. We’ll be planting pickles, gathering eggs and planting a garden,” Zdroj said.
Zdroj is one of 14 Heart of the Pines firefighters who lost their homes during the Bastrop County fires that began Labor Day weekend.
Zdroj and her family were previously profiled in the Statesman. She was also featured in a story about volunteer firefighters when the fires first began.

Today after waiting and praying for help for my family of 5 I got this in my in box
The Bastrop Christian Ministerial Alliance had to make the decision to fund victims that had the greatest need. The scripture tells us in Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ This decision was not made to minimize your loss.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email or leave a voicemail at (512) 718-7823.
In His Service:
