I'll tell you who else I love-- my friends at Shutterfly.
There's Jan, there's Josh, there's Erin,
and all the rest of the gang.
And over the past nine seasons, Shutterfly
has helped me change so many people's lives.
They spread kindness and joy around the world.
And together, we've given away more than $14 million
to help those in need.
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah.
Shutterfly has been such a great partner.
Ya'll are really.
Thank you so much for helping us help so many people.
Look at what we've done together.
[MUSIC - BISHOP BRIGGS, "HIGHER"]
(SINGING) Higher!
Your love has set me free.
Now nothing's out of reach.
Higher, higher.
Today, I want you to hear a story of hope and perseverance.
Four years ago, Kenneth Smith was a college
grad ready to head to medical school
when he suddenly found himself as the sole caretaker
for his six younger siblings.
Your plan was to finish college and go to medical school.
And then everything changed.
My little sister gave me a call and told me my mom had passed.
I had to be the anchor for my family.
I had to step up and do what it took
to make sure I was the pinnacle of strength for my family.
We know how hard the past four years have been.
And you haven't been able to make any payments on the house
since your mom passed.
I have great friends at Shutterfly.
They want to give you $75,000.
[EXCLAIMING]
Shutterfly wants to give you $20,000.
[APPLAUSE]
$10,000.
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my God!
Our next guest is a grad student who's
raised over $30,000 for charities
by dropping pizzas from his second story apartment window.
This one right here is from Shutterfly.
They want to give you $10,000.
[APPLAUSE]
[EXCLAIMING]
So I set out to create cost effective sutures that change
color when an infection is present.
I definitely won't stop until the people
who need these stitches actually get them.
My friends at Shutterfly want to give you $10,000.
Oh!
[LAUGHS] Thank you so much!
You're pregnant and then all of a sudden,
you are now living on one salary.
I was furloughed about a few months ago.
And currently, my wife was holding it
down for the both of us.
Juggling school while being pregnant.
I'm just extremely blessed.
Even though you've had some horrible things happen,
you have a very positive outlook.
Shutterfly loves helping growing families.
They want to give you $25,000 to get started.
Oh, my God!
Are you serious?
I'm Charlee Hanna-Rule.
I'm the owner, the founder, and the director of iRule Dance.
I just made it a goal from the day that we opened that this
was going to be the place that was for everyone,
all shapes all sizes, all colors,
all economic backgrounds.
You've bought cards for your students in need,
you've helped with rent on months
that they couldn't pay bills, you
fed those who didn't have enough money for food,
and helped countless students get jobs.
Everything is bigger in Texas.
We thought that we would give you a big gift.
[APPLAUSE]
My friends at Shutterfly care about supporting
Black owned businesses.
And they want to pay your rent for the next year.
You're getting $25,000
I started this thing called Havasole
where we collect new and gently worn tennis shoes
and give them back to people that might need them.
They want to give you 5,000 pair of sneakers.
$25,000 to help you out today.
A year ago, last two weeks of March,
we're calling around to see how we could truly
make an impact for the senior community.
We started our very first meal preparation and deliveries.
Shutterfly-- they're going to give a check for $20,000.
[APPLAUSE]
Are you serious?
You were just happy because you had a positive interview,
and you do this crazy happy dance.
Prior to her before this job interview,
I was going through a very hard time.
I didn't have any sneakers or any flats
or anything like that.
So I came in slippers.
She shows up in slippers, and you're
thinking she needs a job.
Yeah.
My grandmother and my mother always said, never judge nobody
because you never know what they're going through.
Well, we learned that you both want to go back to school.
We want to give each of you a check for $15,000.
After seeing a post online about a complete stranger in need
of a kidney transplant, our next guest
felt compelled to do something.
I came across those folks that Erin's husband had shared.
I didn't know who they were.
But I instantly felt this overwhelming feeling
in my heart that I was this person's perfect match.
I couldn't believe that a stranger
wanted to do this for me.
She's a miracle.
What's also cool is because of this, they
started an organization to raise awareness for organ donation.
Shutterfly wants to help you create memories
with this check for $10,000.
That's so weird, because I also have friends at Shutterfly.
They gave me a check for $10,000 to give you guys.
[APPLAUSE]
Today, they want to do something for everyone in my audience.
You're all getting a $250 Shutterfly gift card!
We'll be back!
