Since the（4）CCmother has been trying to（5）CC her three kids at their home in Fernley，Nevada，she hasn't had（6）BB and has gone to work on foot.
William was first（7）AA to give his mom a car after he spent some time watching videos of people giving cars to their mothers on Youtube.He later saw his（8）DD to make his dream a reality when he saw that a woman on Facebook was trying to（9）BBher 1999 Toyota Metro for a（n）（10）CC price that William might afford it.
The teenager reached out to the woman and asked if she was（11）DDto trade the car for his Xbox（微軟游戲機(jī)），（12）AA some money that he had（13）BBfrom doing yard work and house cleaning for people in his community.At first，the woman was hesitant（猶豫），（14）DDafter some negotiation（協(xié)商），she eventually accepted his（15）CCand drove the car over to William's house.
When William told his mom that he had gotten a car for her，she didn't（16）DDhim.He then led her out to the driveway where the Toyota was
（17）AA her — and she couldn't control her（18）BB.
"I cried loudly；I was just like， 'There's no way.' What 13-year-old do you know buys his mom a car？I don't know any，never heard of（19）CC，" Preston said. "I can't even（20）AAit，like there are no words that can express my thankfulness."
