A thirteen-year-old boy has melted the hearts of the internet after he traded in his Xbox and did yard work in order to help buy a car for his mom.
Krystal Preston, William’s mom, has been struggling to make ends meet since their family was forced to start over after an “unfortunate situation”.
Since the mother has been trying to provide for her three kids at their home in Fernley, Nevada, up until now, she has had no means of transportation.
William was first inspired to give his mom a car after spending some time watching videos of people giving cars to their mothers on Youtube. The boy later saw his chance to make his dream a reality when he saw that a woman on Facebook was trying to sell her 1999 Toyota Metro for a cheap price.
William reached out to the woman and asked whether she was willing to trade him the car for his Xbox, along with some money that he had earned from doing yard work and house cleaning for people in his community.
At first, the woman was hesitant, but after some negotiating, she eventually accepted his offer and drove the car over to the teenager’s house.
When William told his single mom that he had gotten a car for her, she did not believe him. After that, he led her out to the driveway where the Toyota was waiting for her – and his mother could not contain her emotions.
Preston told KOLO: “I lost it, I bawled so bad, I was just like, ‘There’s no way.’ What 13-year-old do you know buys their mom a car? I don’t know any, never heard of any,”
“I can’t even express it, like there’s no words that can express my gratitude and how proud I am.”
