Hi, I am 12 years old, and I am very happy for this family. My family and I have to move and there is no where to go, I have a little brother , who is autistic, and I saw my dad cry for the first time in my life, So I am glad they got the help they needed, we have 2 months to find a place, but things cost alot, mom says even if we have to live in our car at least we will be together, so I am very happy for these people, Jessie
