America's 'most inbred family' use $50,000 donations from kind strangers to transform squalid shack

America's most inbred family has been given $50,000 (£40,000) to help transform their squalid run-down shack from kind-hearted strangers.

The Whittaker clan, who have a history of inbreeding, have received the donations for a home makeover after managing to turn their newfound notoriety into an advantage.

As reported by the Mirror, a GoFundMe page was set-up by Mark Laita to help the family improve their home after his documentary showed leaky roofs, mould and walls falling down.
