So he started walking back and forth in front of his house . . . did the length of a MARATHON in 70 days . . . and raised $100,000. He finished the final leg of it the other day.


A family in Oklahoma City who were homeless until 2018 are using the crisis as a chance to give back. They got some help from a group called Positive Tomorrows when the mom lost her job during the outbreak. But it was more money than they really needed.

One of the organizers said a parent came up with the idea, and volunteers from a child hunger charity showed up to help deal with all the donations.
