abc7ny GOOD NEWS! 🙌 After an outpouring of support from around the country, Kenia Madrigal, the mom who was evicted and slept in her SUV with her four children -- ages 11, 8, 3, and 1 -- moved into a home and paid off the vehicle. After her story first aired, a fundraising page was set up to help the family of five. The GoFundMe page's initial goal was $800. It ended up raising more than $73,000. "I feel like I'm finally OK. I don't have to stress so much, I don't have to worry so much. My kids have somewhere they can sleep now," she said. #goodnews #texas #community

abc7ny On Friday, March 13, 2020, a COVID curtain descended upon the United States. Now we are half a year into it - accustomed in some ways, resistant in others, grieving at what is gone, wondering with great trepidation what will be. New conflicts and causes have risen. Anger and death sit in daily life's front row. A sense of uncertainty reigns. Great chunks of the national emotional infrastructure are buckling. We are locked in a countrywide conversation about control - who has it and who should. #covid #coronavirus
