The episodes usually kick off with a home video by the family explaining why they need a new home.
Fortunately, there are families like the Frisches that offset tragic stories like those.

The finished result blew the family away.
As an added surprise, each of the Frisch kids received a full-ride scholarship to college.

Aaron and Jackie Frisch now have a whopping total of 25 children.
This world is in a rough spot, and it’s going to get worse, from prophecy.

The Frisch kids now represent a wide array of nations, from Sweden to Ghana to China.
