Mom Surprises Kids With New Home They Think Is Just AirBnB

A hardworking single mom who worked three jobs to save money told her children they were all spending the night in an AirBnB – before revealing it was actually their new family home. Kimaada Ellison's kids had no idea the surprise was coming when they entered the home, initially taking a look around the large family property in awe. Then, suddenly, mom Kimaada, 44, asks her children – Rene 25, Kahalia 21, Kiari 18, Kanani 13, and Kimora, aged six, – "What if I told you this was your house?" As everything begins to click, the kids light up with joy, screaming in complete shock. The moment marked the end of a long journey for Kimaada, from Missouri, who had been living in a two-bedroom unit to save money, after she said her children's father left the family unexpectedly. It was tough, Kimaada, a teacher of 24 years, said, initially having to admit to her kids she could not fully support them on a single salary. So, she took on two extra jobs – braiding hair and working in an Amazon warehouse – and put her studies on hold, as she couldn’t afford tuition she hopes will one day allow her to become a principal. Kimaada worked the three jobs, eventually earning enough for the new property, which she wanted to show her kids through a big surprise.

The fact that a school teacher needs a second job, working an entire living day without dying from exhaustion to afford shelter, speaks volumes.

The little one caught on the fastest...girl is going places. What a grateful bunch of nice-looking kids. Excellent work, Mom!

[sharis]

You didn't just get a new home, you taught your kids what hard work can do. Well done.

I love how your son went to the front door to look outside after you told him. It’s like he had to take in the view from the beginning to embrace how special that moment was.

The way those kids were excited for their mom is soooo priceless. I did the same with my kids two Mothers Days ago. I had been secretly decorating it and getting it together for them. I was a home mom divorced and started from the bottom. My kids in my parents basement on air mattresses for a year and a half. Left abuser during pandemic. Cried out to God to cover me and the 3 kids. He answered and although I wanted to be in a community so an apartment first it is our place of peace. I’ll be moving to own once they are totally out of school or if home is in same area. With God all things are possible and hard work and favor yields amazing results. Congrats to this beautiful woman and the kids. 🙏❤️
