After her husband's tragic death from cancer, Lindsey has a half-finished extension that has made her home unliveable. But help is on hand, as the DIY SOS team steps in to finish the job.
Midwife Lindsey married ex-Royal Engineer Shaun in 2019. Lindsey had two children from a previous marriage and then had two boys with Shaun. In the summer of 2021, they began to extend their house, with a local builder working with them to put in the foundations, walls and roof, and to get the extension up to first fix. The plan was for Shaun to finish the build himself.
Several months after starting the build, Shaun fell ill. Initially, he had an operation on his kidneys and bowel, but within months he was struck down by an aggressive cancer and tragically died in November 2021. Lindsey and her four children are devastated, and the grief is compounded by the fact that their home is currently uninhabitable.
But help is on hand as the DIY SOS team, along with designer Gabrielle Blackman and hundreds of local trades, volunteers and some of Shaun鈥檚 old army buddies, step in to finish the job and get this lovely family back home.
