Angela Verzwyvelt has a hard time deciding what to do with her challenge money. "[There are] endless possibilities of what you could do with this, because there's so many people in need," she says.
Eventually, Angela learns about a family in her community with a 5-year-old autistic child named Austin. Austin's expensive treatments aren't covered by insurance, so his parents try to make extra money doing yard work and running an eBay store.
