Elizabeth, 11, said they hadn't showered for days. Her plan for tonight-- to sleep.
This was not the only surprise-- another viewer named Cathy said she wanted to do more for the Gonzalez-- "I want to invite them to be guest at my home."

Victor Gonzalez had no words, but his wife did.
In less than 24 hours the community raised over $10,000 for the Gonzalez family.
"I woke up and I saw the story and my heart broke immediately and I asked my husband can we take in the kids and he said yeah we can. So that's when I reached out and emailed you. I just feel bad for the kids," said Misti Baldo.
Bill Marcy donated the last $400 to bring the GoFundMe total to $10,000.
Marcy left a message saying, "Thank you for sharing the link I paid the remainder to get to the 10,000 mark!"
