Though rapper Ludacris has a long history of giving back to the community, his latest act of kindness still came as a pleasant surprise and big blessing to one Georgia woman who had recently fallen on hard times.

A woman named Therra Gwyn-Jaramillo had recently shared on Facebook the details of the hard times she’d been facing since her husband died of brain cancer. She had been dealing with grief, taking care of her disabled brother, several rescue animals, and had a bill of over $4000 in home repairs. After sharing these details, a friend of hers decided to gift her a $250 Whole Foods Gift Card.

After going to the store to utilize her new gift card, Therra Gwyn-Jamillo soon found herself at the register going over the $250 dollar budget. As she was preparing to put the over-budget items back, Jamillo said “a nice-looking man” stepped in to take care of the bill. “I had zero interaction with him before he decided to buy my groceries,” Jaramillo recalled. “I tried to put things back and he said, ‘I said I got this. All of this. Don’t put anything back!’ He started putting the stuff I was going to put back onto the conveyor belt. I was stunned.” she said. He paid the entirety of the $375 grocery bill.

Grocery store staff and customers began to recognize who the man was, but Jamillio still had no idea, that Atlanta rapper Ludacris was behind the deed.  She goes on to recall “I finally managed to say ‘What is your name?’ and introduce myself. He said, simply, ‘Chris,’ and shook my hand. I talked to him through my tears and finally asked, ‘Who ARE you?’ she asked. “He looked at me and said ‘Just a person. Just a guy.’ I kept thinking, ‘Does he know? Does he know he’s an angel?’”. Check out the full Facebook post about the chance encounter that led to a blessing, on Facebook.
