Rachael and Angelo are on a mission to get Shante—a homeless, single mother of two who is struggling to meet her family's most basic needs—and her family off the streets. Rachael convinces a local church, A Place Called Home, to host a fundraiser. She sings to the crowd and her enthusiasm, along with Angelo's encouragement, inspires the congregation to dig deep into their pockets, raising $14,000 in just 15 minutes. "They were just giving and passing the baskets around," Angelo says. "From the pulpit, I could see that the baskets were filling up with money. They gave big!" |
