A father in Arizona is raising his four newborn children alone following the death of his wife during childbirth.
The story of Carlos Morales went viral Wednesday after he made appearances in People Magazine and the NBC Today Show.
Morales told NBC's Matt Lauer, "We're just doing our best. I'm feeling really, really grateful for everybody that just came together and helped us."

The babies, three girls and one boy, are named Paisley, Tracy, Erica and Carlos Jr.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family. As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, more than $380,000 had been raised.
