When you have nowhere to call home, you sometimes find yourself doing things that you never thought that you would in order to make money or provide for your family. One mother made a plea on Facebook and other social media sites, and the response she received was epic.

Melena Johnson has been on the streets with her young child for about a year. Her one-year-old son sleeps in extreme weather conditions and sometimes goes with very little to eat while his mother lives on even less.

Elliott Davis is a reporter with Fox 2 and interviewed Melena about her experience. She explained how it was difficult to raise her son on the streets in the cold weather of St. Louis.

Melena is worried that she will be fined or that she will lose her son if someone finds out that she sleeps on the streets with him.

Melena has received a few fines already for sleeping on the sidewalk, but she's unable to pay them and has nowhere to go so that she doesn't get any more fines. When people in her community saw the struggles that Melena was facing with her son, they responded in a big way. There were even people in other states who offered to help her.

The help given to Melena restored her faith in people because she thought that she had simply been abandoned.

Watch as strangers show their love and support for someone they've never met so that she can have a home for her baby.  It's beautiful to see a community come together and help the people in need.
