Ellen Just Surprised a Canadian Woman and Her Daughter with $20K for a New Home

Ellen's been known to make dreams happen. Case in point: Her early Mother's Day gift to a Toronto mother who, until her big surprise, was struggling to find a way out of her mother's basement and move into her own place

Glenda from Toronto took a chance: using her savings to take a vacation for the first time in six years, she and her daughter flew to LA to see their favourite TV star, the one and only Ellen.

First, a little background: Glenda, an office manager and single mother, has been living in her mother’s basement for a while, saving up to finally buy her own house. 

And like an early Mother’s Day miracle, she was chosen to come on stage at the Ellen Degeneres show after being the last person standing during a game of, well, ‘last one standing wins big’.

We’ll let the video speak from here..

Our heart is warm.
