"Me and my whole family work all week and a half for that money. You know, we wake up at 5, we don't really go to sleep until 11 or 12," Vang said.

Since then, the community has stepped up. Vang has posted photos of the donations her family has received, and a GoFundMe has already raised thousands.

Police say they're still searching for the thief.
