Despite already raising her own children and some of her grandchildren, she found herself taking care of six great-grandchildren, struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, while repairs on her home continued to pile up.
One day, a stranger showed up at her door with incredible news. It turns out that Ms. Ella’s decision to take in her great-grandchildren was the only way for them to have a loving home. However, her best friend, Ms. Alice, who was all the way to California, came up with a secret plan to help her.

As Christmas approached, while most families were planning feasts and presents, Ms. Alice was planning a surprise for her best friend. The Fox5 Surprise Squad arrived with a truckload of new furnishings, carpets, beds for the kids, and even Christmas decorations. Ms. Ella was overwhelmed and cried tears of joy.
But the surprises did not end there. The Surprise Squad had arranged for Ms. Ella’s rent to be paid in full for the next year, and each child received a $500 gift card. Ms. Ella’s house was filled with new furnishings, beds for the kids, and gifts.
Thanks to Ms. Alice’s thoughtful plan and the generosity of the Surprise Squad, Ms. Ella could now provide her great-grandchildren with a safe and loving home without worrying about the financial burden.
