LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The holidays are now a lot brighter for a Southern California mother and daughter.<\/p>\n

Kioka Hampton and her daughter Paris had been living in their car after the death of Kioka’s grandmother.<\/p>\n

But thanks to the Holliday’s Helping Hands nonprofit<\/a>, Hampton and her daughter secured housing and support services.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit gave the family their own fully furnished apartment complete with a Christmas tree and presents.<\/p>\n

“She thinks that she’s walking into an empty apartment, just to check and see if they painted a couple of things, and so when she walks in … she’s going to be totally surprised,” said Holliday’s Helping Hands Founder Katina Holliday before the big reveal. “She’s going to walk in to a refrigerator full of food, a stove because she was waiting on somebody to donate a stove to her. We were able to purchase that as well, and a little Christmas cheer.”<\/p>\n

“Paris, the baby, is deserving of it all, and so is the mom,” she added.<\/p>\n

The mother is also enrolled in the nonprofit’s Certified Nursing Assistant program.<\/p>\n

Once she completes her state exam, Hampton plans to start working in healthcare to build a brighter future for her family.<\/p>\n
