After learning of the family's situation and the bravery shown by Adonis, Riverdale's mayor decided to offer the family a house the village had purchased from the federal government for $1.
"I saved my family because If I didn't I wouldn't have anything left but my uncles and aunties. So I thank God for waking me up so I could help my family," said Adonis Bell.
The family has been living with relatives in south suburban Crete since the fire.
