Michelle, a London, Ontario woman who once lived on the streets but now dedicates her life to helping others, just received the surprise of a lifetime—a car from country star Jelly Roll.
The journey to this heartwarming moment started when Michelle’s story of addiction and recovery was featured on CTV News in September 2023. Her dedication to helping others caught the attention of social media influencer mdmotivator, who set her up for an unexpected gift.
From VIP Tickets to a Life-Changing Gift
At first, Michelle was given VIP tickets to a Jelly Roll concert, a dream come true for the fan. But when she arrived at the show, the surprise got even bigger—Jelly Roll himself handed her the keys to a car.
“You see these things on Facebook and TikTok, but you never think it could happen to you,” Michelle said, still in shock as she received the car at Oakridge Ford.
The vehicle—an extremely low-mileage used car—was made possible thanks to a mix of generosity from Jelly Roll, mdmotivator, Oakridge Ford, and Michelle’s boss and friend, Allison DeBlaire.

A Message of Hope
Looking back on her struggles, Michelle reflected:
"I mean, this would mean everything, right? Just to be able to tell myself to hold on, that it’s going to get better… you’re loved, and one day you’re going to love yourself."
A touching reminder that kindness—and second chances—can change lives.
