The Goal.

Just like the title says.  I want to start the cameras, buy a house or apartment, fix it up with whatever it may need for special accomodations and meaningful decor, then hand it over to whomever you decide, IndieGoGo!

Awesome idea.  Tell me a little more.

I would like to get you, Canada, to help me find one of the most deserving families here in the True North.  Contributions of certain sizes can get you anywhere from nominating a deserving family or individual right up to the panel that selects them.  What we'll do, is figure out the location they reside in, then find an affordable home - completely ramp it up to meet a deserving family's needs (i.e. wheelchair access, or much closer to a veterans hospital, special needs facility, or whatever the case may be), and then just hand them the keys to a professionally renovated, decorated, and mortgage-free home.  We'll even help them move in.

Ok, Who is going to get this place?

Well, that's up to you.  I've set the contribution goals in a way that most people can nominate any one person or group they think deserves something like this.  Then, the major contributors will be able to have live panel discussions and shortlist the potential recipients down to 1 lucky final story. 

What's the TV show going to be like?

With an entertaining DIY Series, some unforgettable hosts, pranks, setbacks, drama, and an amazing ending; It gives back to the contributors.  

You wrote it!  You can even star in it!

It will be a professional level filming from any number of possible sources already contacted.  Although there are already a couple of DIY shows out there, and a few other 'feel-good' stories on TV, there's always room for a bit more happiness.  This also creates a potential revenue stream to turn this project into one that can be performed again and again.  With enough popularity, this campaign could open a floodgate of oppurtunities

So, basically its part DIY show, part family entertainment, and part crowd-funding project documentary?

You got it, partner.

Wait, who are you, again?

My name is Adam Abernethy (My friends call me Abe) and I'm a hardworking father of 2 (third is coming soon, anyways).  I'm an experienced renovator specializing in legal, and by-law abiding shoestring budget renovations.  I'm also a project planner for a branch of the Canadian Government and have excellent professional experience with seeing projects from start to finish with high levels of organization, and administrative due diligence.  

I'm also known to have a rather captivating personality that will hopefully shine through on TV.  If not; some younger, prettier, media student will love to host a mini-series as a voluntary checkbox on an empty resume.  :D

Whats this project called?

The current working title is:

Abes GoGo Home

This is going to take some serious cash

Do you have any ideas for corporate-level sponsorship?

Here's what I'm doing for the large-scale donors.  You can see it from the perks.  I'll call it live-in marketing.  It's kind of the ultimate social media marketing.  Forget 'wall-posts', I'm talking 'Wall-Posters'.  If Company XYZ wants to help out on a commercial level then they'll be working with our interior design specialist to come up with various size posters and other integrated brand marketing to reside in these peoples homes.  We'll offer the family a 2-year agreement to keep up the advertising in their house in the form it was provided.  The really major players could end up with living room murals with a tasteful brand decoration that every houseguest will be actively aware of the sponsors generosity, community support, and personality.  Again, since this is someones home, this will be scrutinized carefully with marketing people and design people.
