Carrie Burke, her five kids, and her granddaughter had been dumped off at a Dallas homeless shelter by her sorry husband. He had stolen the last money she had, prior to leaving with an old girlfriend and some degenerate friends. Carrie found temporary labor to feed her family, but her situation was desperate, and her options were wearing thin. As she was returning form an assignment, to cash in her ticket, her car over heated in front of an old shack that had once been a mansion. As she sat waiting for the car to cool down, she knocked over a large trash bag and discovered several bills inside. She asked a moving man for the four large bags and he said to take them. Consequently, the bags of Trash on the Curb yielded millions of dollars in cash. Carrie eventually bought the shack at a public auction, and she and her family became ultimately wealthy. "Guys, I want to take this windfall and build an empire." She told her kids.
