Logan resident Saneti Pauni and her eight children and nephew were featured Sunday night on the ABC television program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Their home was entirely rebuilt and, at 5,600 square feet, was the largest makeover job attempted by the reality show.
Saneti Pauni's husband, Danny, brought his family to Utah from Tonga, but he died two years ago from a heart attack. That left his widow and her family struggling both emotionally and financially. The family's home, as shown in the family's application video Sunday night, was severely dilapidated.
The Pauni's new home features a family dance studio and a second kitchen to support the family's catering business.
"My dream come true," Saneti Pauni said when the show's designers showed her the new in-home catering kitchen. "You just don't know how much it means to me."
The family also was given a new RV outfitted with a mobile catering kitchen and each of the Pauni children received money for college.
The time and material needed to rebuild the home were donated.
