Oh my God.
Yes.
Oh my God, thank you so much.
Hey guys, I'm Ashley Graham.
And I am a model, designer, body activist.
And I am so proud of who I am today and what I've overcome.
Because it wasn't easy.
And now I get to help people gain the confidence that they
need to take the next step in their life to be totally,
unapologetically fearless.
This is Sarahi.
She's a single mom with three kids who's
struggling to make ends meet.
Her husband recently left the family,
and her confidence is at an all time low.
The bills are piling up.
I have no job.
You know, I've been a stay at home mom for eight years.
It's been very difficult to even find a job.
But despite everything, Sarahi has an infectious spirit.
And people are looking at me like, are you crazy?
Like, you are the most positive person we know.
How can you get down like that?
Like, no, no, no.
Get up.
Hi.
Oh my God.
So today, Total Wireless and I are
going to help restore her confidence
for herself, and for her kids.
How long ago did you get married?
We'd been married for seven years.
Wow.
Separated since April this year.
Oh my goodness.
So he moved in with this girl.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's OK, babe.
It's OK.
He moved to Georgia, and left me with my three kids.
Did you want to fix it?
Did you want to stay in it?
I did.
And he decided not to.
Wow.
That was heartbreaking.
Actually, my dad left my mom about five, six years ago.
And it was the hardest thing for her, because she had no job,
and she hated who she was.
And I've seen it firsthand, like, how devastating it is.
It's been the hardest to get myself up and tell myself, hey,
you are worth it.
You are good.
And in between all that, I still have to find a job.
I've applied in so many different places on my phone.
But I haven't worked in so long.
And your kids are watching you.
They are.
And I keep telling myself, if I fail, they fail.
So no, no, no.
Failure is not an option.
No.
I have a little girl.
I'm like, I have to show her what it's like.
God forbid she goes through something like this.
I need to show her.
You got to get up.
You got to keep going, no matter what.
You know you're worth deep down.
I do.
It's a matter of saying it to yourself
and saying why you're worthy.
You know, if there's a man that leaves you,
automatically, it's like, what's wrong with me?
Yeah.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Thank you.
I really needed to hear that.
You have what it takes to fight through this.
Thank you.
But there's something special that I want
to show you in the other room.
All right, guys roll the projector.
Sarah, I just want you to know, you are so strong.
And you are blessed, and your children are as well.
Sarah, we're in this together no matter what.
Sarah, when you walk in a room, your spirit is so contagious.
Mom, thank you for taking care of us, how much you put in,
and how much you care.
I just want you, Sarah, to know that you're not alone.
I want to help you by taking your kids for a full day,
or whatever time you need.
I'm hiring you a cleaning lady.
So we can get some girl time, and get our nails done.
Girl, we're getting some wine.
We're going to grocery shopping.
You're going to be a sexy mommy hot tamale.
And we're going to get you back out into that world.
I just want to say, thank you for bringing us
joy, and showing us what kindness is.
You are strong.
You just are so brave.
You got this.
You can push through the situation,
because I know you are strong.
Thank you so much for taking care of all us.
Oh my God.
I was not expecting that.
How are you feeling?
I feel so strong.
I feel so strong watching that.
Clearly, you have a support system.
I do.
Clearly, your friends and your family love you.
And they want the best for you.
So now, I think you can understand that people
see strength in you.
And they see that you're independent.
And they see that you're strong.
Even your children think the same.
Yes.
And that has got to be empowering.
I know that you're looking for a job on your phone right now.
And I think that it would be a little bit easier if you were
looking for a job on a laptop.
Oh my God.
Yes, Sarah, this is for you.
But also, we want to give you $5,000
to get back on your feet.
Oh my God.
Yes.
Oh my God.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome.
Last but not least, one of the things
that helped my mom get back on her feet and know her worth
was starting to date again.
And I want to be the first to take your new dating profile
picture.
Oh my God, let's do it.
Yes.
My hope for Sarahi is that she gets a job that she loves,
and that her kids can see that, no matter
what obstacle is put in front of her or them,
you can fight through it.
And there is a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone.
Knowing now that I have all this support,
I feel like my self-esteem is getting higher and higher.
I'm blessed.
Beyond blessed.
