Denni would do anything for her three children, and she proved that to them, time and time again, throughout their lives. When her youngest was 3 years old, her husband left her. The single mom was left with nothing. Her house went into foreclosure and the family would fluctuate from homelessness, often living in their car for long periods of time. At any given point, Denni never worked less than three jobs to support her family.
Make no mistake, the hardship united the family more than ever. Her children only express gratitude for what the mother has sacrificed. Now that the three have each graduated from college — yes, she even put her kids through college — they hoped that their mom's life would get a little easier. While things stabilized a little, Denni still owes $78,000 in loans. She says she won't pay them off until she is at least 93.
When Oprah heard about the hardworking mom, she brought her and her children onto the show. That's when the life-changing surprises began (yes, they're just as good as single mother Angel's were on Undercover Boss). First, Oprah gave them an all-expense paid trip to Italy, but that didn't light a candle to the two other gifts. She paid off Denni's $78,000 debt in its entirety. And here's the kicker: Oprah also granted Denni an entire year's salary so that the mother, who has worked every day for her kids, can take an entire year off!
