Fallon (middle) receiving $10,000 from the Ellen Show. |
I think everyone who has seen Ellen DeGeneres is aware of her generosity towards people who are struggling and still working hard. So, when broadcasters showed up at the Poston family's front doorstep, it was a familiar scene for viewers, but a shock for Fallon, who never expected to get a visit, much less the gifts that came with it.
Ellen gave the family $10,000 for their immediate needs, plus made a stop to a local Ford dealership, which Fallon entered blindfolded. For a few minutes after she removed the blindfold, Fallon didn't realize why they were there. But then when she turned around, she found that she had the keys to a brand-new Ford F-150 pickup, a replacement for the car that they had sold.
Because of the frigid temperatures recently in Nashville, the couple were even struggling with the one vehicle they had. Matt had to climb into the car through the back window because the doors and their locks were frozen.
For most of the time, Fallon was overcome and speechless. But when she recovered, she was able to give some idea of the meaning of these gifts, "Now we can go see my family. They want us to come visit and we can't because we'd have to rent a car and we don't have that kind of money. Now we can go, this is insane! Thank you so much!" Yes, Ellen, thank you so much for all you do, especially helping a young family with dreams of improving their lives.
