SYLVANIA, Ohio — Directions Credit Union is joining forces with the popular ABC television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" to help one deserving family in the Toledo area.

The credit union is a lead sponsor for the Toledo edition, which is benefiting local firefighter Aaron Frisch's family of 13.

When Frisch's wife Jackie, an ordained minister, returned from a mission trip to poverty-stricken Haiti wanting to adopt five boys from an orphanage, the firefighter didn't hesitate to agree to the adoption without even meeting the boys. Over the years the Frisch family has adopted three more children, this time from Toledo's inner city. The family of 13, which includes three biological children, is currently living in a cramped one-story ranch home without air conditioning.
