Amy Schumer Buys Back Her Father’s Farm Years After Her Family Lost It to Bankruptcy

Who cares about Santa Claus when we have Amy Schumer dishing out Christmas miracles? Yesterday she surprised her father by buying back the family farm they lost to bankruptcy years ago. We already see a Hallmark movie in the making.

When Schumer was 12, her father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and the family went bankrupt shortly after. She posted a v adorable video of her younger self playing with her father on the farm, captioned, “We lost the farm when we lost everything else. But today I got to buy it back for him.”

Schumer’s dad currently lives in an assisted living facility, but she FaceTimed him the good news. *weeps uncontrollably*

 

Today I bought my father’s farm back.

If your heart isn’t warm right now, you’re definitely a Grinch. We hope that everyone has someone as wonderful as Amy Schumer in their lives this holiday.
