Kind-hearted teen sells his XBox to buy his struggling mum a car after 'weeks of hell'

A kind-hearted teenage boy sold his XBox and did housework for a complete stranger so he could buy his mum, who was struggling financially, a new car.

William Rabillo, 13, saw a video of another child surprising their parents with a car on YouTube and knew he wanted to do the same.

His mum Krystal, who says the last few weeks have been "filled with hell" admits she "completely lost it" when she found out what he had done and couldn't stop crying.

William, who lives in Nevada, searched for a car to buy online and he found a woman selling a 1999 white Chevrolet Metro for a good price on Facebook .

He messaged her to see if he could do housework for her instead of paying in cash or if he could trade something.

She said no at first, but later messaged again to say she had changed her mind.

So William handed over his XBox and did chores to pay of the rest of the cash.

When the big day finally came and it was time for William to tell his mum she owned a car, she didn't believe him.

Sharing the story on Facebook she writes: "Today I got the shock of my life.

"As some of you may know my son William, who is a lawn mowing, yard cleaning , money making machine. Well my son had a job today that he had to go do and so I allowed him to go assuming it was like any other time.

"Well this time was different. Very different.

"William came home and said "Mom I bought you a car".

"I of course laughed and told him "ya right"!

"He said "no mom I'm so serious I bought you a car. Come on we have to go."

"I'm at this point confused and sceptical and I said "go were?" and he said "with this lady."

"And much to my surprise I go in my front yard and OMG there is a women standing there and as William said she was giving us a ride.

"William jumps in the car so I'm like ok?? This is some kind of joke right. No one speaks really....

"So..... As I'm still thinking at this point still a joke. We pull up to this house and William says "mom that's your car.... " 

Krystal, who says the last few weeks "have literally been hell filled with so many tears, anger, confusion and heart ache" was overcome with emotion.

She said: "I have no words right now that can express how I am feeling at this moment. I'm in complete shock.
