Giving Big to One Special Girl

Aired on: March 7, 2008

When Oprah's buddy Nate Berkus stops by to tell Rach how Oprah's Big Give has been inspiring viewers to help others, she decides to present a Big Give-style challenge of her own to 10 moms. Part one of their challenge is to make a difference in their community using only 40 gallons of paint. (See how they did that here.) Their special mission also includes making over the room of 10-year-old Victoria, who has struggled with cerebral palsy since birth. Watch her inspiring story, and see how the moms were able to put a smile on Victoria’s face after five weeks in the hospital.

The giving continues with the help of The Bruno Company, who gives Victoria a much-needed chairlift for her car, $1,500 raised from Victoria's classmates at a bake sale to help with medical bills, a year's worth of free groceries from Pathmark, and $20,000 in gift cards from Sears and Kmart.

"I'm sure you're going to share a lot of your great fortune back with your friends," says Rachael, who's moved to tears. "Go give something to somebody - like a hug!" she shouts.
