Mackay and her son Charlie were forced to move into her ute(小卡车) for some reasons. When they didn’t have enough money for food, Mackay went hungry so Charlie could eat. It was cold and they often felt uncomfortable. Although life was not easy, Mackay got her son to school every day on time. After three months in the ute, Mackay posted a housing request on a local Facebook group.
Claire Orange saw Mackay’s post. She knew she had to do something to help them fast. Mackay shared a photo of Charlie sitting inside the ute, and Claire was able to make out his school uniform. She called the school with an offer that seemed too good to be true: She wanted to give Mackay and Charlie a safe place to stay until they got back on their feet.
Claire had plenty of extra(额外的) space in her house. She and her family agreed it was an easy decision to take in the mother and son. Once Mackay and Charlie moved in, Charlie’s school started finding a home for them. Within a few months in Claire’s home, they found a dream apartment. __________ She started a GoFundMe campaign(活动) that has brought in far more than $10,000. Members of the community also donated everyday goods! All of the donations will help Mackay set up house and get Charlie extra help in school.
Mackay is still shocked by the support from her community. Even Claire calls the support “amazing” and was touched by how kind people can be.
