The Hanna Kids

I've been following the story of the Hanna Kids since they were featured in http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/.

When their parents were still alive, a family friend sent a letter to ACA and asked for help, maybe for rent assistance for the family or money to pay medical bills. The Mom has breast cancer while the Dad has prostate cancer. A lot of people donated money and soon they have enough to cover the house rent for the entire year. But sadly, the Mom died and the Dad followed six days later, leaving the Hannas orphaned. Dad's dying wish was for the kids to have their own home.

The story touched a lot of Australians, and in true spirit of mateship, everyone contributed money, time and talent to make the the Dad's wish come true.

Almost half a million were deposited to the Hannas bank account, enough for them to buy their own place... but it did not end there! The house was renovated by volunteers, furnished by good samaritan so that the 5 kids, aged 5 to 18, can have a fresh start.

They aired the house renovation yesterday (it took them 10 days to do a renovation which would normally take 4 months!) and the first glimpse of the family today and I just can't stop crying. Truly, there are still good people around. I am so proud to be living in this country...
