Winner Eva O'Brien said she was amazed by the outpouring of support from Medfield where she lives and Norwood where she grew up.

"I received a tremendous amount of support also from West Roxbury residents as well as various Greek organizations in the United States and abroad. It was all very heartwarming," she said. "It reminds me of the ending in the movie, "It’s a Wonderful Life" -- what a great program...I’m happy I have one less headache on my mind. I am extremely grateful and optimistic."

No Roof Left Behind is a nationwide program that helps the community rally around a family that has fallen on some hard times.
