* At one point in ''Homecoming'', the Tillerman children work on earning money by carrying groceries. The highlight of the day is the older man and his granddaughter who give the children three dollars (which in the early 1980s had the same worth as about eight dollars today). What's really heartwarming is how the little girl, who had been complaining earlier about not carrying a bag, gave them her dollar on her own volition rather than be told to give it up.
* There's also the help that the children receive from the college students Windy and Stewart, the former treating them to a good meal and the latter driving them to Bridgeport as well as the two of them letting the children stay in their dorm.
