Today I met Bre & Austin's family at Walmart.
I asked if the money on the ground belonged to them. Even though they could have easily claimed it, they chose to tell the truth and said it wasn't theirs.
To reward their honesty, we gave them $1,000.
They broke down in tears as they shared their story.
Their daughter, Katie, has terminal brain cancer and has been given only a few months to live. The family has spent everything they had trying to save her, and the financial burden has been overwhelming. They're currently homeless and have lived in tents and hotels just trying to survive. The cost of treatment is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they're desperately trying to keep fighting while searching for stable housing and shelter.
And yet, even in the middle of all that heartbreak, they still chose honesty.
A family like this shouldn't have to carry this burden alone. Let's rally around them to help Katie continue her fight against cancer and give this courageous family a safe place to call home.
