American Idol Contestant Chris Medina Given An Amazing Gift!

Filed under: Inspiration > American Idol

What an incredible gesture by all! This will change their lives for sure!

If you've been watching American Idol this season, you know about Chris Medina and his heartbreaking story all too well. Unfortunately, even though he has killer talent, he didn't make it into the final 24 for the show, which actually brought Jennifer Lopez to tears.

However, all is not lost for Chris and Ryan Seacrest proved that this morning on his radio show when he invited Chris on for a chat and to give him a very special gift.

Check out the video to see Ryan present Chris with a donation of $35,000 to the foundation that is helping Chris' fiance recover from her accident. (above)

And that's just the beginning.

We almost cried ourselves. Chris is such a beautiful soul and we want nothing but good things for him and his bride-to-be.

So touching!

      They did their math wrong. If the movie makes 3 million thats 30,000 in donations, not 300,000
