Jess is a curly-haired Jersey girl who adores penguins and watches the worst reality shows on TV.

Nikki Epperson was going through a rough time in her life. The mom had recently lost her car after a suspected carjacker plowed into her vehicle as she was driving home from work.


The chaotic incident left her without a mode of transportation and created a pit in her stomach.

In the video below, posted on December 28, 2017, Nikki explains:

“I got up this morning and I was just like, ‘Lord, what am I going to do? How am I going to get to work? How am I going to get home from work? How am I going to get my babies to school?’ I didn’t know. I was just going to plan it day by day.”

Little did this struggling mom know, a complete stranger was about to change everything.


A local man named Dan lost the love of his life just a month earlier. Among everything else, the passing of his wife also meant that he had an extra car at home. Then, Dan quickly found a way to put the vehicle to good use.

He got in contact with Nikki and the news station covering her story. He was able to donate his late wife’s car — as a gift from both of them.

In the video, this kind stranger says, “It’s been a tough couple of months for me. This makes me feel really good.”
