It's been six or seven months since the stroke. Insurance has helped, but now we're having to pay for a lot of things he needs out-of-pocket.

I brought him to my home to take care of him. Now I don't have a home. Me and my five children, we don't have anything. So I guess we need a miracle.

That's all we had, you know? We've been trying to get help with his stroke and everything.

When I came out of the apartment Steve was, um -- I had him in a chair. As soon as I opened the door, I was thinking that it was a false alarm or something.

It's been a hard time, but he's worth it.

For me, it's heartbreak, yeah. But second in the state is awesome. Not many people get to go to the state tournament. Not many people get to place. Not many people get the chance twice to be in the state finals.
