"I don't even know what to say—'thank you' isn't enough." -Trista Miller

(Federal Way, WA)—"My whole world came crashing down," says Trista Miller of the morning she and her husband Robert, an Army Specialist, woke up to find their moving van with everything in it, and their car had been stolen. (Photo: FOXNews)

The Millers, along with their toddler son, had just moved to the northwest, and on their first night in Federal Way, Washington, they were robbed.

Their small amount of insurance only provided them with a few items, but that's when a good Samaritan stepped in.

"It makes me feel good," Dean told reporters, "I'm glad I can come around, reach out and help them."

Besides Dean, others in the surrounding community have also stepped in to help the young family.

Trista Miller was overcome with emotion as she said, "Even though I'm sitting here on this furniture, it's unreal. No one's ever done anything like this for me before—it's amazing."
