[question everything]

A North Miami Beach family can smile again a day after robbers broke into their home and stole their Christmas presents and nearly robbed them of their holiday spirit.

Thanks to the efforts of the North Miami Beach police department, Miami-Dade police and other donors, the family was given about $900 in gift cards, cash, dozens of toys and peace of mind on Christmas Eve. Pedro Huamanchumo tearfully thanked the police for their work and for helping his daughter, Alondra Tallendo, and their family have some relief after having their home burglarized.
