A Chicago mother has received an early Christmas miracle, having her holiday season brightened after being gifted a completely note-free car through a generous giveaway organized by a prominent millionaire influencer.

The philanthropist behind the giveaway is Kenneth Smith, who has recently gone viral this holiday season for his widespread charitable efforts. Smith’s initiatives have included massive toy drives and, notably, several highly viral car giveaways across the country, aiming to spread cheer and relief to families in need.

Smith captured the moment the woman received the generous giveaway in a heartwarming video clip, which he later shared across his social media platforms.

In his post, the millionaire influencer expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to impact lives during the Christmas season. He highlighted that being able to change someone’s life in such a monumental way was a truly humbling and rewarding experience.

He wrote in the caption, “Man this has got to be the most fulfilling thing to do in life GIFTING ANOTHER PERSON A PAID OFF CAR… words can’t explain how happy I feel doing this for my city!”

The emotional video captured the moment Smith declared the Chicago mother as the recipient of his car giveaway. As community members enthusiastically applauded, the woman got into her new car, visibly emotional, wiping away her tears.

“You don’t have no note, you don’t have nothing. Only thing you got to go do is get insurance,” explained Smith to the elated winner.

At the end of the clip, he added, “We just finished the giveaway, y’all. This is the family who won the car. We got a paid off Chevy. “

The “millionaire-maker” influencer, known for his financial acumen and motivation for aspiring wealth-builders, has been acting as a modern-day Santa this holiday season, according to Black Enterprise. His financial insights have helped him amass a following of almost 400,000.

Smith’s Christmas outreach extended beyond the Windy City to Miami, where he also shared holiday cheer. Families in South Beach were gifted new toys, and one lucky recipient drove away with a paid-off car, a special New Year’s blessing.

Smith made a big wave this Christmas in the Chicago suburb where he grew up. His generous giving has become a major topic of conversation in the city and on social media. 

To show his support, he temporarily closed a Walmart store in Chicago and one in the suburbs. While there, he paid for entire carts of Christmas gifts for several families and also gave out a total of $20,000 in extra money.
