Act Of Bravery

Smith was soon famous all over after the incident. Her act of bravery had caught everyone’s attention. But even though she was getting famous in the outward world, the personal life was still getting difficult for her. 

Vigilance

The means what Renita earned through driving the school bus was not enough to raise a teenage boy and a young girl in this time of high rate expenses. But there was somebody who was noticing everything from afar. 

The Call

The next call that Renita Smith received was neither a normal call nor was it from someone ordinary. Her bravery had caught a lot of eyes and she was in limelight everywhere for what she had done. 

An Invitation

Smith had been invited to none other than the Ellen De Genres show. Her brave actions were commendable and she deserved being on the show. But the surprise did not end there. Ellen had planned something for the brave mother which would change her life. 

Poor Conditions

Ellen had noticed in what conditions Smith had been living and was really upset to see someone so kind and courageous to be living so poorly herself. The conditions were so poor that Smith had been in a flight for the first time when she had to go to California for the show. 

A Gift

To improve Smith’s lifestyle a little, Ellen decided to do her part. She handed Smith a check for $20,000, a reward for her bravery. It was a gift from an image publishing firm named Shutterfly given through the Ellen show.
