He was living there after a storm damaged the roof of his home and made it unlivable. His son died in a snowmobile accident.

Every Saturday night, Haase would order a pizza.

First Nguyen delivered not only the food, but also a heater for the small camper. Then she set up a GoFundMe page. In two months, the page raised $32,000, enough for a new trailer, KARE reported.

Nguyen and other volunteers welcomed Haase home on Sunday just in time for Christmas. The bedroom alone is as large as his old trailer.
