2. Joey in his customized SUV 12/23/05
Joey was paralyzed a year ago in a car accident. He's planning to go to Portugal and have a stem cell treatment surgery in hopes of gaining some more feeling and ability. He's a T6 if you know what that means. Awesome guy. I'll be working with a great reporter to share Joey and his family's story. Im starting by following him and his friends as they go out partying New Years Eve (I'm PSYCHED).

3. Sharia, Kyron, Kylon,Kyra and Ivan in their hotel room 12/23/05
This family lost their rented home in a fire 3 days ago. They did not have renters insurance. They are planning on enjoying Christmas no matter what but the hotel room is getting a little clausterphobic for them and being homeless , even if its temporary, is taking its toll.
