    A pair of siblings who thought they were heading to their single mom's friend's home for a surprise birthday couldn’t contain their excitement when they discovered their own possessions and realized she had purchased their dream home. Hard-working mom Melanie has always put her children first, moving five hours across Texas from Wichita Falls to Houston in 2018 to pick up work. With no friends or family in Houston, Melanie later admitted that she struggled to make ends meet as she worked as a respiratory therapist at a local children's hospital for around two years. But in early 2020, the determined mom made a huge call to help put her family on a stronger financial footing. As the pandemic was hitting New York, the area was in desperate need of respiratory experts and medical staff. So Melanie drove to Oklahoma to drop her children off with their grandparents, accepted a FEMA-funded position in New York, and headed to what was, at the time, seen as the epicenter of the virus in America. The 33-year-old said she had nearly tripled her pay in the high-risk role, working 23 days without a break, and then taking just one day off a week for the rest of her three-month position. Having then returned to Texas, Melanie worked to tackle the virus in San Antonio, during which time her improved financial position meant she could sign the papers on a new-build home for her and her children, Zachary and Kairi.

    Listening to her talk about wanting her kids to be safe and saying that her son had been there through a lot, it gave the impression that she was coming from an abusive marriage. I really hope that this family is safe in their home, and it's awesome to see a single-mother be able to provide for her children what she wants them to have in life, especially coming from a potentially dangerous and harmful situation. That's not an easy thing to do, and it's easy to see what makes Melanie a really tremendous mother.

      I think your right, it does sound like it was an abusive marriage but I wonder if putting this on UA-cam and telling everyone where they live is a good idea. Just a thought 🥰

      Or it could be that going down to only one income meant they may have had to live in a rougher neighborhood. Her son my have felt he needed to be the man of the house and was worrying about his mom. Her ex may have stopped paying support. Many men refuse to realize their responsibility and take it out on the wife financially. To all those men who do step up to their obligations I applaud you. This woman risked her health during the pandemic. These children know they are loved. ❤️👏🏽👏🏼

      Sounds more like unstable living accommodations. Having less income can mean moving from place to place, staying with others, etc.

It took courage, dedication, HARD work, faith, tenacity, and self respect! Bravo mom! You are a true example to all! May God continue to walk with you, give you strength and bless you and your beautiful children! Well done ..... You EARNED it!!!

    This is so beautiful. This is why you never envy or judge someone else without know how hard they work to get there or what they had to endure. (Being away from her babies for so long).
    The kids will be stronger one day because their mom did it on her own for them.

    "You had me at 1:28" It's called being a good mom! You go girl. This is what moms and dads do when being a good parent. This is why we have these big, pain the ass, cute, annoying kids in the first place. Being a parent is a full time 24/7 job. The younger they are. The harder it is. Being away from my kids when they were young like yours. Ripped my heart out. And I couldn't wait to leave work everyday to see them. And moving / upping your kids roots and moving somewhere different where they don't know anyone is huge. New friends, school etc. Must be hard as hell. But watching this video. You did good mamma bear!

Oh and thank you for the medical work you did during pandemic.

    My daughter quit her lucrative job after 15 years to spend more time with her 8-year-old daughter, they grow up so fast. They moved into a small home and she is barely making it each month, just to be with her daughter, so someone else doesn't raise her. I know she made the best decision for herself and her daughter. After watching this, I have hope that their dreams will come true and one day they too will have a home they will feel safe and at home! Thanks for sharing.
