Vicky Umodu from Colton in California was in the process of setting up her new home. She was in desperate need of furniture but couldn't afford to buy anything new or used. So she decided to look on Craigslist.
She was delighted to find a lovely furniture set that was being given away for free. It looked hardly used and Vicky knew she could make a cozy home for her family with the furniture.
Vicky then contacted the owners of the free furniture and was more than blessed to have it.
