Get Marty: Strangers step in to help when cancer took away this family's father

This is how total strangers are helping one family dealing with unimaginable loss at Christmas.

Just weeks before Christmas cancer took 36-year-old Caleb Kifer away from his wife Elicia and their three young children.

He lost his battle with esophageal cancer on December 3rd. To say it's been a lot for his lovely wife to handle would be an understatement.

Aside from the challenge of raising three children, their home in Clarion, PA was a work in progress that Caleb was updating himself.

We reached out to Elicia after someone shared with us what she was going through.

Watch the video on this page to see our first meeting in person and see the work that needs to be done.

But wait, there's more. We already reached out to one of our Get Marty friends who's already taken steps to help out Elicia and her family.

In the video below, you'll meet Ryan Shedlock from Howard Hanna Real Estate and his friend Lindsey Kingston from Riva Ridge Real Estate Services. Watch to see how they're making a difference!

That video of Ryan and Lindsey was shot right before we visited Elicia. They sent a gift bag filled with cards for everyone and gift cards.

The next step, Lindsey's team will be meeting with Elicia and mapping out a plan to take care of all the work needed to finish the house.

Now that's a Christmas miracle I think we can all get behind!
