Ellen DeGeneres sure has a knack for making people's day.
Recently, a Vancouver single mother and her daughter were the recipients of Ellen's generosity during an episode of her tv show.
Ellen surprised the two with a dream vacation, which will also be the first vacation the two have ever been on.
The excitement began when single mom Helen and daughter Emerald accepted a video call from a person they thought was a producer from the show.
Their reaction is priceless when the two see Ellen herself.
Prior to the call, Ellen explained to viewers that Helen came to Vancouver from Nigeria 18 years ago, to provide a better life for Emerald. She lives paycheque-to-paycheque, and has never been able to afford a vacation.
They were asked why they watched the show, to which Helen replied that it "just gives me hope" that there are good people in the world.
