A local couple who were facing foreclosure got help from comedian and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, according to a
Star Tribune story.
DeGeneres presented them with a $25,000 check from
Fujifilm Medical Systems on “
The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which aired last Friday.
Carrie Agnew had written to the show about the dire situation she and her partner, Rebecca Johnson, were facing.
When the show offered to fly them in to watch a taping, Agnew had no idea that the visit would involve financial help.
"It's such a relief," Agnew says in the story, adding, "Our lives are changing."
