Ellen invited the woman on her show that paid for the homeless to stay in a hotel on the South Side during the polar vortex and gave HER a gift

Candice Payne was concerned for the 100 homeless people who had nowhere to go during the brutal polar vortex last week. So the Auburn Gresham woman used her own money to put them up at the Amber Inn.

Ellen Degeneres heard about it and had her on the show. And gave her a MAJOR gift!

$50,000!

You have to see it…
