The Perry family expected to have a pretty rough Christmas. When father and husband Antonio Perry was hit by a car, he was no longer able to work. Just scraping by, the Perrys were ready for a modest Christmas. That's when the "angels" came according to mother, Lashana Perry. Sisters Lauren and Stephanie Murray wanted to give back for the holidays. They heard about the Perrys and dropped off Christmas gifts for the kids. They gave the kids a Playstation and laptop, but then they noticed something else.
There was no TV for the game console, there was no desk for the laptop, the family was sleeping on two floor mattresses. Stephanie and Lauren knew they had to do something else.
"We came and dropped the gifts off, but we soon realized that this family needed much more," Lauren told ABC Action News' Eugene Perry. The sisters rallied volunteers on Facebook and they gave up their own Christmas. The sisters forfeited their presents and gifts to give the Perrys a Christmas home makeover. The volunteers cleaned up, painted, provided each of the children with their own beds; it was a whole new world.
"It would have been hard," Lashana said. "They really would have gotten nothing."
