Watch this emotional video of a young boy crying after learning that his family finally has a home again after being without one for a while.
Darrell and Mallory are husband and wife and have two sons together. Recently, Darrell had to undergo emergency open-heart surgery, and he was unable to work for six months. His wife Mallory had to work two jobs to avoid eviction.
“I was working two jobs while I was helping him in recovery,” Mallory said.
“We just kept falling farther and farther behind. Finally, it got to the point where we couldn’t stay where we were at anymore,” shared Darrell.
“We realized that we are going to have to break our lease to avoid eviction,” said Mallory.
The family was able to stay with a friend while they were trying to find a new place to live, and they also had to move into a hotel for two weeks during that time.
“It was extremely stressful,” Mallory shared. “And it was stressful on our kids, but they were so amazing. I mean, they just were so resilient.”
When the family finally had their application approved for a home, they were so relieved. And Mallory decided to take a video of her kids when she and her husband revealed that their family had a new place to call home.
“That day, we picked the kids up from school,” she said. “They came out of the car, and I said, ‘I’m going to hit record.’ And I turned around and said, ‘Hey. By the way, this is our house.’”
That’s when her son, Evin, completely lost it and cried tears of joy! Mallory went on to share the heartwarming video on her TikTok, and it went viral and so many people wanted to help the family out by sending appliances and furniture for their new home.
“The first day, when we got the keys to the house, that was the day we were going to open everything. It was like the best Christmas morning, to watch our kids open all those gifts and to feel so loved by people and supported. It was an amazing week. We were just so grateful. We just can’t believe that we’re here and that this is our life, and that we survived the hardest year of our lives. And we’re here, and we’re comfortable and stable,” Mallory said.
What a blessing and a testimony of God’s faithfulness towards this family!
