“This was my last option. It's not a place that I would have imagined coming,” she told INSIDE EDITION. “But it's a place where my kids could at least sleep for a night.”
Their luck was about to change - thanks to the kind-hearted Deputy Sheriff, Brian Bussell.
“The kids shouldn’t be sleeping in a jail lobby, or under a bridge,” he told IE.
He called a homeless shelter - but there was no room. So out of his own pocket, Deputy Bussell checked them into a local Comfort Inn. He also took them to Walmart, where they got new shoes and clothes, all paid for by Bussell.
Then he really went way beyond the call of duty: he found the family a new home.
Bussell said: “It's nice. It's a nice feeling. They're happier than what they were a week ago. It's worth it.”
Tierra told him: “I'm grateful, I mean, really, extremely grateful.”
