On Tuesday, we brought you the heartbreaking story of a Tuscaloosa teen with autism who had his video games stolen, but today that teen is playing once again.

Tyler Lee used a PlayStation 2 for special learning games to keep his mind active, and when they were stolen last week from his grandmother’s house, he was left questioning why someone would do such an awful thing.

But Tyler’s story touched the hearts of so many viewers, they reached out to help, offering anything they could so Tyler could get back to some semblance of normalcy.

One couple reached out and replaced Tyler’s 65-inch TV, and fellow Echols Middle School student Mitt Landers stepped up and offered his PS2.

After those needs were met, dozens more Good Samaritans pitched in to get Tyler all kinds of games, but also goodies like his favorite snacks and drinks.

Tyler’s grandmother, Wanda Powell, said she’s overwhelmed by the generosity that’s poured forth.

“We thank them from the bottom of our hearts,” Powell said. “You just don’t know what it means to see him back happy.”

Powell said she’s had a security alarm and a video system installed in her home to keep any other potential thieves at bay.
