25 Cents Led Me Home — Episode 5

Eight-year-old Lily has spent years starving, beaten, and treated like a burden by the DeLeons. One freezing night, after being thrown out, she finds a missing-child poster beside a dumpster. The girl in the photo looks exactly like her, down to a maple-leaf birthmark. With her last quarter, Lily makes one desperate phone call—and reaches Rick Sterling, a father who has searched for his missing daughter for seven years. A DNA test confirms the impossible: Lily is truly his child. Reunited with Rick and Kate, Lily finally discovers safety, love, friendship, and a real home. But healing from years of abuse means learning that she no longer has to survive alone.
