The families each\u00a0face difficult personal circumstances and need help to improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0The Big Build Ireland,\u00a0each family\u00a0gets a significant home renovation &#8211;\u00a0all through goodwill and\u00a0delivered in just nine days. The battalions of high-vis vests and hard hats are corralled and cajoled by Baz, who, as always, keeps\u00a0spirits high and tensions low as teams work into the night to realise these impressive constructions and overhauls.<\/p>\n<p>Presenter\u00a0Baz Ashmawy\u00a0said:\u00a0&#8220;The way the world is now with so many terrible things going on, I think it&#8217;s really important to\u00a0witness good people doing great\u00a0things for others. Showing kindness and empathy\u00a0feels more important than ever, and really that&#8217;s\u00a0the whole essence\u00a0of this series.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the first episode, which airs this Sunday evening, Baz visits nine-year-old Cayden who was born with a condition called Arthrogryposis, which affects his hands and feet. Cayden also has scoliosis and requires multiple surgeries each year and will continue to do so until his late teens. Cayden lives in Killinarden, Tallaght in Dublin with his Mam Sinead, Dad Ronald and 15-year-old brother Ethan.<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarelive.ie\/news\/arts---entertainment\/1906496\/clare-singer-fiona-tyndall-s-new-album-is-a-love-letter-to-family-and-culture.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u00a0Clare singer Fiona Tyndall&#8217;s new album is a love letter to family and culture<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cayden is fully dependent on a wheelchair. However, the doorways and hallway in the home are not wide enough, which makes getting around difficult for him.\u00a0Cayden has to be carried upstairs to his bedroom, and to and from the bathroom, which is not adapted for his needs. There is currently no accessible toilet downstairs for Cayden\u00a0and\u00a0also no available storage for all his equipment needs.<br \/>Cayden desperately needs the doors widened, a downstairs bedroom and bathroom and\u00a0a ramp to gain access to the house. It was recommended by his Occupational Therapist that the house be adapted for Cayden, but\u00a0due to the very significant costs, this has not been possible to date.<\/p>\n<p>The series has attracted a lot of excitement from people on social media who said they can&#8217;t wait to watch the new episodes.<\/p>\n<p>One person on Facebook said: &#8220;Can&#8217;t wait to watch, got to know Cayden few years ago when he attended the school I work in.
