Story overview
A family's housing uncertainty became a path toward stability.
Reanna is a single mother of three in Elgin, North Dakota. When one of her daughters was asked to draw something she wanted, she drew a tent. It was not about camping. The family was facing the possibility of losing stable housing.

Thousands of donors contributed through the public fundraiser. As of September 2, 2026.
