JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – Thanks to generous CBS4 viewers, a once-homeless man has a new truck and leads on potential landing spots for housing. Joseph Kniss, who lived on the streets for more than 12 years, told CBS4 the truck he uses to sell scrap metal was severely damaged by another driver.

Days later, Jefferson County code enforcement officers told him he could not live in his RV on his landlord’s property. After his interviews with CBS4’s Conor McCue and Dillon Thomas, the community stepped up and offered their possessions and land to help Kniss. One couple, John and Carol Sessum, saw McCue’s initial report on the truck collision and decided to help.

The Sessum’s drove several hours, and more than 200 miles, to give Kniss their 1994 Dodge pickup truck. Though aging, the truck is in great condition and offers more features than Kniss’ previous work truck. (Image via CBS)
