Extreme Makeover visited The Browns to help rebuild their home, now lived in by Alex's parents Jeanne and Johnny Mac, and Alex's 12-year-old sister Katrina
"Extreme Makeover" asked Emma Roberts to join them for two reasons. "She's an incredible young actress," said Ty Pennington, "and she's a teen so she understands how big of an epidemic texting and driving is."
"After hearing Alex's story I just think texting and driving is really a problem," Roberts says. "To hear that this happened to someone so young -- that really kind of was a little bit of a wake-up call. I have a nine year old sister and to think of her losing me, or me losing her -- I can't even comprehend that.
