After raising her children and some of her grandchildren, Ms. Ella thought her time as a parent was over. But at a time when she should be relaxing, she found herself raising her six great-grandchildren.
This 72-year-old military widow from Las Vegas, Nevada, manages alone, without help, to take care of her kids or her crumbling home.
But thanks to her best friend, a Christmas miracle happened in Mrs. Ella’s home.
Even though her best friend Alicestine Miller, known as Ms. Alice, lives in California, she never stops thinking about her best friend.
Ms. Alice contacted the Fox 5 Surprise Squad to help her friend in need.
When the surprise team answered the call and arrived at Ms. Ella’s front door, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
“Oh my God, they mean so much to me,” she told the Surprise Squad when they asked her about her great-grandchildren. “They’re my heart.”
Ms. Ella would not say why she had taken her great-grandchildren in only that she had to rescue them.
The Surprise Squad flew Ms. Alice in and after wiping tears from their eyes, they were whisked away for a spa day while a team of workmen completed some much-needed updates and maintenance.
The team members arrived with a truck full of new furniture, rugs, beds for the children, and even Christmas decorations.
Ms. Ella’s house was full of new furnishings, beds for the kids, and gifts including a $500 dollar gift card for each child.
“They are going to have a fit,” Ms. Ella cried.
“It’s a big Christmas miracle,” Ms. Ella’s great-granddaughter said when she saw her much-improved home.
But that wasn’t all — the Surprise Squad also arranged for Ms. Ella’s rent to be paid in full for the next year.
Watch Ms. Ella’s wonderful reaction in the video below.
I’m so glad that this family was spoiled and Ms. Ella was able to enjoy a Christmas without any stress. If any lady deserves a surprise like this it’s Ms. Ella.
