Struggling Salt Lake City family who lovingly cared for a carjacked dog is getting some much-needed relief. Here's how you can help...
"He was the coolest dog ever, he didn't bark or anything. He was so cute, we just hung out with him gave him food, water, treats, played with him, you carried him around everywhere, the kids and dad were building the doggy a doghouse," said Mariah Mills.
"My truck battery died and I had the kids flag somebody down, and this lady came by and the kids were like, 'Hey, can you give us a jump?' And she was like, 'Yeah, can you watch my dog? And they're like sure if you give us a jump, so she handed them the dog and she took off," Mills explained. "The fact that this family was willing to take care of a tiny little creature when they're barely struggling to take care of themselves says everything about the heart and quality of this family," said Kseniya Kniazeva, executive director of Nomad Alliance, a Salt Lake City group working to end homelessness.
"The $10,000 that we will raise will go directly into purchasing a trailer," said Kniazeva."We will purchase that camper for them, and help them get into a KOA and hopefully we can raise enough money that perhaps they can have free rent in the KOA."
