Samaritan's Purse gives away two homes

Samaritan's Purse gave away a couple homes today.

The Randall family was handed the keys to a home on Schifferdecker this afternoon, and with it a plaque for proof that their home is now paid in full.

The family of six lost their home in last year's tornado and at the time had six month old twins.

Organizers say they just wanted to help some families in need.

"It's something we had hoped we could do and we were able to make that happen and it just blesses our hearts to know that we've helped in some way to bless theirs," says Steve Gahagan, Program Manager for Samaritan's Purse.

The home took about four months to complete and Samaritan's Purse even installed a tornado shelter in the bathroom with three deadbolts that can be unlocked from either side.
