The woman who had called Andrew a "monster" on her live video stream was fired from her corporate job after thousands of citizens demanded accountability for her malicious slander.

A local auto dealership donated a brand-new, four-wheel-drive truck equipped with advanced safety features to Andrew, while a regional contractor offered to completely renovate the Mercer home free of charge, adding storm shelters and reinforced flood barriers.
Andrew sat on his renovated porch three weeks later, his leg resting in a brace, watching Ashley play happily in the front yard with Buddy.
Officer Natalie Perez pulled up in her cruiser, stepping onto the porch with a warm smile and a box of fresh pastries.
