Default Nice Story on Nick McDonald..
Nice story on McDonald, his mother dies father leaves and he is left with caring for his three siblings, they are evicted and then he is adopted by his girlfriends family..

Haven't I heard a story similar to this before, not Meriweather, but someone else.

FWIW, McDonald was one of the younger siblings, not the older.
