"We moved around a lot it was almost like every two years whether it was from the rent increasing to not being safe environments," said Amanda Piantadosi, the new homeowner.
Eager eyes took in their new home. What the family lacked in means more than made up for in smiles.
"It means security, safety," said Piantadosi, "A firm foundation."
