[IMG][/IMG] Knock, knock: Cara Simmons, a single mother-of-three from Cleveland, Ohio, recently received a surprise visit from Prank It Forward - an organization dedicated to doing 'pranks for good'
Quote:
For several seconds she was lost for words, with 'thank you' being the only thing she could say.
Cara's sister, Glo Nicholson, explained that the treat was well-deserved.
'Cara is an amazing person, an amazing sister, she's selfless, she works hard. She'd give you the shift off your back,' she said in a video interview.
Quote:
Before the Prank It Forward surprise, Mary Jo told Cara she would be visiting a very important client.
What Cara didn't know was that the whole thing was a set up. When she arrived at the house the client, played by an actress, told her that she'd already cleaned the place.
She then asked Cara to sit down at the dinner table and taste test a gourmet meal.
After tucking into a menu trimmed with lobster, truffle and finished with a spot of pumpkin cheese cake, Cara was then asked to trial a four-hand massage.
Lucky lady: But the surprises didn't stop there - Cara was also treated to an all-inclusive trip to the Riviera Maya in Mexico to see the pyramids with her sister (pictured, left)
Quote:
'What's going on,' she is heard exclaiming in CCTV footage of the event. She then starts to realize that something is suspect when a removals man arrives with boxes of her possessions.
It's then that she's handed over the house keys too.
The utilities of that is gonna be no cakewalk. Hope she can keep up with those payments.
I always thought I was the only one who thought about things like this in that show Extreme Makeover:Home Edition...
like the families are clearly poor and its great that you're helping..but how are they going to afford maintaining all those new extravagent things they usually build on that show?
As heart whelming this is, I think there were people who deserved this nice house more imo. What about the homeless people who don't even have a job or a house? This woman at least had a job

I've read about those situations. While these families get these nice, new homes either free or renovated, they eventually lose them because they can't pay the increased property tax.
The moral of the story is fix up your house on the inside. The tax adjuster that comes around only looks on the outside to assess a value.

So I'm assuming she doesn't have to worry about that.
Very happy for her + her family.
