"Everyday someone brings a meal to our house for dinner, and, you know, I've gotten tons of cards from people I don't even know," Jenson said.

"You never think after, you know, going through so much that something great, not even good, but something great would come out of it," Orina said.

Tuesday night's fundraiser was just one of a number of events to raise money to help cover medical costs for the three students.
