Five Nevada police officers changed the fate of a family in need when they came across two children sitting by the side of the road. Their intervention gave the family hope and a better option than the heartbreaking reality of sleeping in their car.

On Sept. 17, Officer K. Pinto was patrolling the east side of Las Vegas when he noticed two kids sitting in the street next to a minivan, a Clark County School District Police Department Facebook post stated. He approached and learned that the young family had lost their home; the kids, accompanied by their father, had spent two weeks living out of their van.
