Hoy, her husband and their five children ranging from ages 2 to 7 years old have been living a one-bedroom hotel room since moving to Houston.

While working on the frontlines and continuing to raise a family, Hoy has also been studying to earn her master’s degree.

Megan Thee Stallion, who is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Texas Southern University, connected with her fan’s story and wanted to help.

With the help of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and Shutterfly, Megan surprised the Hoy with $50,000 to help pay off her student loans.
