RICHMOND, Va. -- For many, the thought of losing everything in a house fire is nearly impossible to comprehend. But FEMA estimates show more than 353,000 houses catch fire each year.
And for Robert Tweedy the idea of losing a home to a fire isn't hypothetical. He lost his home earlier this year.
That's why CBS 6 Crime Insider Jon Burkett decided to surprise Robert with some help from Virginia Credit Union.
The CBS 6 Month of Giving made possible by Virginia Credit Union is underway. Watch for a new surprise every day in December on CBS 6 News. Have an idea about who we should surprise next, click here to email our team.
