But while they were at St. John's Regional Medical Center in Oxnard on Sunday, their van was stolen - with all their possessions and their puppy Scrappy inside.
After Eyewitness News aired the story, Jason Thorwegen was compelled to help out the family by donating a van.
"I can't describe how grateful we are," Brian Hampton said.
"I think it's more of a Christmas miracle. This is life-altering."

Thorwegen had been living in the van for several years. He has another van he's living in and he could have easily sold one.
"Just try to do good where I can and when I can," Thorwegen said. "We're all just human, we're all just trying to do good when we can."
Brian says his wife was speechless getting a donated van.
Along with getting a van, Brian and Brandi are hoping for another holiday miracle: getting their puppy back.
