Video: Complete Stranger Buys a Car for a Single Mom

|Updated:

He was at the local car dealership when he heard a single mom’s desperate phone conversation.

The man, who has asked to stay anonymous, gave Connie Cole $2,200 for a new used car. 

Cole had been at the dealership discussing her plight as a single mom with three children. She said she’s only able to work part-time but still needs to provide for her family.

The 32-year-old pulls shifts at a sub shop in Black Mountain, North Carolina, but doesn’t make enough to get a new vehicle, which she needed after the one she was driving broke down. 

She was telling the dealer at the dealership that she'd likely have to go into debt to get the vehicle, prompting the stranger to give her $2,200. Her dad added $800 and Connie got a used car.
