A family's public plea leads to a stranger's selfless act and a second chance at life.
Less than 24 hours after ABC13 aired a story about a young mother who was arrested for child endangerment, the case has been dropped, and the community is now lending support to her.
David Avary's missing piece of his life is now fulfilled, thanks in part to a Houston firefighter's organization that helps reconnect those who were illegally adopted as children.
"I'm really happy. I thought it was just a dream until I stepped foot in Houston. It felt amazing, and I'm really thankful for the team that I have behind me," Jaime Avalos said on Tuesday.

The man, now 35 years old, had apparently gone through a rough time and could not cope with the death of his mother, father, and grandmother before his disappearance.
