Eight-year-old Daeyrs of Detroit, Michigan, has been living in shelters with his mom, Dionna, for most of his life. They have been homeless since she lost her job as a nurse. The family was finally granted state housing but couldn’t afford to buy furniture for the home. Daeyrs had been sleeping on only blankets until the family got the help they needed.

Non-profit organization Humble Design stepped in to make the house a home for the family.

“When we visited them earlier this week they just had an air mattress on the ground and a few camp chairs,” according to designers who helped surprise him and his mother.

The video shows Daeyrs touring the house with his mom for the first time. When it came time to tour his room, the designers told Daeyrs to close his eyes.
