0:36 I had me and my two little boys who were looking up to me, you know, and I didn't know what to do.
0:42 We'll just stay wherever we can.
0:44 I have a couple friends, and then we stayed in a hotel room and just bounced.
0:50 And then sometimes we'll go and stay in the house because I didn't have anywhere.
0:54 We are able to provide not only homes, but I feel like we're able to provide a lot of hope.
SPEAKER 1
0:59 I don't feel like hope is something that a lot of people have right now.
1:03 I want to make it as easy as it is I can for her and everything that she's gone through,
1:07 everything her kids have gone through,
and I want them to know that people haven't forgot.

This has really, really been a big impact on my family.
