Ms. Ella is a 72 year-old military widow who is raising her six great grandchildren alone in Las Vegas, Nevada. While most people are retired and enjoying their golden years, Ms. Ella has been left struggling to make ends meet as she cooks, cleans, and raises six children by herself.

While it has not been revealed to the public just how this family ended up in this situation, it has been confirmed that Ms. Ella stepped up for these six siblings when nobody else would. After rescuing them from a bad situation, she gave them the loving home that they desperately needed, sacrificing her own golden years to do it.

Since then, however, things have been tough for Ms. Ella. Her home has fallen into disrepair, and she has had trouble paying the rent.

“Can you imagine the stress this poor woman is under at that age?” one social media user commented. “Every day she must ask God to keep her alive one more day so that those children don’t have to go to foster care if she dies.”

When Christmas came around this year, Ms. Ella assumed that she would not be able to afford any gifts for her great grandchildren. She had no idea that her best friend Ms. Alice, had come up with a secret plan to help her.

Unbeknownst to Ms. Ella, Ms. Alice had contacted the Fox5 Surprise Squad, and they had a special surprise in store for her. When Ms. Ella found out what they were going to do for her, she burst into tears!
