Friday wrapped up one of the most inspirational weeks we've ever experienced here at Fun 107.  Our United Way Holiday Wishes campaign helped the family of Melissa Rogers, a single mom from Fall River.

Melissa's little boy Adien, 6 years old, struggles with a global hypoxic brain injury which causes him to have seizures.  Aiden also suffers from cerebral palsy.  He can't walk or crawl, so Melissa needs to carry him.  Aiden is receiving occupational, physical and speech therapy from the incomparable staff at the Schwartz Center for Children in Dartmouth.

After we told Newport Jeep about Melissa's car troubles and owner Robert Campellone offered to fix her 10-year-old car for free. Games to Gold bought little Aiden an iPad Air to replace his stolen iPad.

Then, the real magic happened.  Fun 107's fans called into the Rock and Fox show to start pooling together money to save Melissa's family from being evicted from her home.  They were successful.  Then, someone else called to pay for a second month.  Then, a United Way Holiday Wish miracle happened.  Watch the video above.
