Samantha Garvey and her family had been homeless for months before she became a finalist in Intels Science Talent Search. Now, shes a White House honoree, has appeared on Ellen and Today, and has a roof over her head. This is how she got there:Despite the fact that both of Garveys parents worked—her father drives a cab and her mother works in a hospital—several months ago the familys bills became too much, and Samantha along with her parents and brother and sister were evicted on New Years Eve. They spent the holiday moving into a homeless shelter.
