When Acerra reached the boy’s house, he managed to look into the boy’s bedroom and understood what was happening. Cameron’s room had no furniture and consisted of a mattress, that was deflated, causing him back pain. His mother was facing a financial cri-sis, so they couldn’t afford any new furniture.

That’s when Acerra decided to surprise the little boy. A few weeks later, he returned with a desk, chair, bed, and a television. Acerra also gave Cameron a Nintendo Wii that someone had donated after hearing the boy’s story.
