A viral TikTok has sparked an outpouring of support for a homeless family in Houston, leading to nearly $10,000 in donations. The video, which was shared by social media influencer Victoria Vanna, highlighted the plight of a mother and her three children who were found sleeping underneath a highway bridge in freezing temperatures, according to FOX 26 Houston.

"Two days ago I came across this beautiful family sleeping underneath a highway bridge," Vanna said in the TikTok video. She described encountering a small boy first, which led to the discovery of the rest of his family. As per a UNILAD report, the woman had fled Honduras, where she lost two sons to the pervasive violence, seeking safety for her and her remaining children.

Following her initial encounter, Vanna used her influential online presence to raise funds for the family. Her efforts helped provide immediate relief in the form of a hotel stay and food. "It's just so cool to watch the community, how everyone comes together to help this beautiful family," Vanna told FOX 26 Houston.

The online fundraising initiative didn't stop with short-term needs. Vanna launched a GoFundMe campaign aimed at securing longer-term housing for the family, with the hopes of helping the mother start a cleaning business. "Anything helps. Thank you," read the GoFundMe page, as reported by UNILAD. The fundraiser has brought in more than 400 donations in a mere four days.

With the significant attention the TikTok video received, amassing over a quarter of a million views and thousands of supportive comments, Vanna also managed to give the family a makeover. "I think everyone forgets that it’s a luxury to be able to even have a home or a roof over your head, nonetheless be able to get your hair done," Vanna expressed, according to FOX 26 Houston.
