"Who could be more deserving of new furniture or something good happening to them than this family?" McIngvale said. 

The Saldivars said they were very grateful for the act of kindness that will help them on their road to recovery.

"That was awesome because we see him on TV and we know he's a good guy and helps out everybody and we just totally appreciate all the stuff he's done," Virginia Saldivar said. 

In all, McIngvale donated more than $13,000 in furniture and accessories to the family.
