Radio station in Australia surprises grieving mother

A radio station in Australia surprised a deserving mother of four, capturing it all on hidden camera. Kyle and Jackie O from the “Kyle and Jackie O” show on KIIS 1065 heard about a woman named Michelle who tragically lost her 19-year-old son Blaine during a freak work accident involving a tractor.  After Blaine’s passing, Michelle took time off from work to grieve and consequently fell behind on bills. With a camera set up in her car, Michelle’s daughter Crystal took her for a ride with Michelle’s two other children. The radio was tuned to KIIS 1065, and Kyle and Jackie O started to tell the story being featured in their “Giveback” segment. Michelle listened as Jackie O told the story of a mother who would be listening in the car with her three kids. “This is someone who has lost someone very close to them. ... She thinks she’s on her way to a spa day. Michelle, we are talking to you. And I know how hard you’ve been suffering lately.”
 
Michelle quickly realizes the segment is about her. Through tears on both Jackie O and Michelle’s end, the radio host explains that they will be paying six months of her mortgage. And since Blaine was in the middle of doing repairs on his mother’s home at the time of his passing, the station will also pay for the rest of the outdoor renovations.
 
Then, an emotional Michelle calls into the station to say “Thank you so much. I can’t believe it.”
 
The station posted the video to its YouTube page, where it has already been viewed more than 3.2 million times.
