St. Louis, MO (November 2008) - The Martirez family lives in St. Louis, Missouri and has a daughter Elle and twin boys, Evan and 
Alec. Evan has an extremely rare genetic condition called 9P minus, and Alec has another uncommon genetic disorder known as Crouzon Syndrome. Both twins suffer from skeletal abnormalities that require extensive corrective facial and cranial surgeries, with Evan having physical handicaps and mental retardation and Alec being profoundly hearing impaired. As the boys have grown, the home's cramped, narrow hallways, steep stairs, crumbling driveway and single, handicapped inaccessible bathroom posed great problems for them, slowing their development. Working together with eSpecial Needs, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition equipped the Martirez's home to accommodate the twins' special needs.
