 | | The Van Houtens are “devout Baptists,” and their children -— John, Gerrit, Samantha, Nolan, Peyton and Kennedy —- are the only sextuplets in Michigan and one of a dozen sets in the United States, The News reported. |
 | | Two of the children have ongoing health problems, and all of them are susceptible to common sicknesses that could endanger their underdeveloped organs, according to The News. |
 | | Though their community has given $70,000 to help them purchase a new home, the Van Houtens are staying in their 1,200-square-foot house in Hamilton, Mich., until they can pay for the rest of a new house. |
