About 1,200 tornadoes hit America yearly, and many of these are devastating enough to destroy homes. For one particular woman, her family had lost everything in a tornado, and she wanted nothing more than to live life normally again.

Charlie Rocket, who runs the organization Dream Machine USA, came across the woman and decided to ask, "What's your dream?" Tearfully, the woman responded that she wanted nothing more than to have her home back, as she and her family had no house.

A Life-Changing Tragedy

The woman recounted how she looked up at the sky and saw the powerful tornado. Right then and there, she knew that it was coming for the entire town, and she was right. She shared:

"It was coming for everybody. I wasn't only scared for my kids, but to hear the people and all of them are yelling 'help, help, help,' and you feel so lost because you're not prepared for this. Everybody is hurting. Everybody."

The woman, who embraced her dog as she tried to share their heartbreaking situation, continued saying that it's been difficult for her to act like everything's okay, especially around her children. "You try to make it like 'everything is okay.' You just can't!" she told Charlie.

Staying Strong for the Kids

"How do you explain to them that everything's gonna be okay when you honestly don't know where you are going to take them?" she continued. Despite their situation, the woman and her husband wanted nothing more than for their children to bounce back and be happy again.

When she opened it, the woman was in tears as she read out loud: "We're giving you $25,000 to rebuild your dream."

After hearing from the family, Charlie was determined to do what he could to help. He and his team went to a superstore to buy goods for the entire family, including TV sets, a laptop, and some toys for the kids to play with.

The gifts, wrapped in Christmas wrapping, were later brought to the family who gathered in the front yard, waiting for what Charlie had to say.

Before giving the gifts, Charlie handed the woman a sparkly box that read, "Rebuild the Dream." She had no idea just how surprised she'd be once she opened the box.

A Gift to Rebuild the Dream

The woman was in tears as she read out loud: "We're giving you $25,000 to rebuild your dream." Thinking that was the gift, she couldn't help but share how speechless she was to receive such a generous gift.

However, that was when Charlie and the rest of his team stepped out of their vehicle to spread the Christmas cheer some more. They handed gifts to the children, who were delighted to receive Nerf guns, a laptop, TV sets, clothes, shoes, and even flowers!

Charlie and his team decided to ask the woman how she felt, and she said she was "blessed, overwhelmed, and more grateful than she had ever felt her entire life." She embraced Charlie and his team as she thanked them for their Christmas "miracle."
