FERNLEY, Nevada -- A single mom in Nevada has a new car, all thanks to a very generous donor: her 13-year-old son.

The teen earned money by doing yard work and traded his X-Box to surprise her.

The family is starting life over right now and had fallen on some hard times. The teen says he'd seen viral videos of people giving their parents cars, and he wanted to do that.

So he turned to Facebook, and asked a woman if he could trade in his video game system for the car she was selling.

The mom says she couldn't believe that her son bought the car.
