GENESEO, Illinois-- When visiting the Fischer household following the rules is a must. Both 5-year-old Hailee and her 10-year-old brother Jorden are severely allergic to light. So much so, they have to put on special gear before heading outside.

For the family, adjusting to the kids' light allergy has been tough, they have to buy 3-watt light bulbs and the kids are only allowed outside at night to play.

"Nine o'clock right now because of the time of year it is right (then) is when they can go outside and just be kids," says their mother Angie Fischer.

The family has been working to attach a play room to the house, this way the kids have more room to play indoors, rather than to gear up to go outside. A project like that is worth more than $30,000.

Volunteers from the Shield of Faith Security, an organization originally established to help military veterans, is giving the family a hand with the work. The organization is looking to extend their volunteer work to all families in need of help.
