It’s Demo Time in Vail Arizona, As Veteran Receives Official “Military Makeover with Montel®”


Article by Purple Heart Homes, originally published on March 22, 2025

Renovations began on March 12th in Vail, Arizona, to transform the home of Air Force veteran Matt Kosto and his family through the Military Makeover with Montel project. Scheduled for completion by March 23rd, this life-changing renovation was made possible with vital support from Purple Heart Homes, the show’s official nonprofit partner. The project united local and national vendors, construction teams, and support staff dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of military families. 

Montel Williams highlighted the Kosto family’s resilience, especially praising Virginia Kosto’s strength during Matt’s deployments. John Gallina, Co-Founder and CEO of Purple Heart Homes, shared his pride in partnering on this effort to provide veterans with safe and accessible homes. Board member Mike Lennon and co-host Art Edmonds also expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the project’s impact. Viewers can catch the home reveal when the show airs on Lifetime TV in May 2025.
