Hi Everyone,

Here's a story if you want to do something this holiday.

We spent the day in Round Rock talking to mom who is trying to do something for her Marine son. We were told about her posting on Craigslist. Jackie Hoover is offering to clean houses for as long as it takes... in exchange she's looking for someone to fix her son's red Firebird.

Her son Lance Corporal John Mittelstedt got in an accident before he was deployed to Iraq. While overseas his humvee hit a roadside bomb and he ended up having some serious injuries. He's recovering at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego.

John is supposed to come home on December 7th... his mom is trying to get his car fixed by then.

The firebird needs a new bumper, hood and may have to have some other things done to it.

Here's a link to her post on Craigslist

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
