Continuing with his philanthropic works, the rapper is granting a wish of a North Carolina mother who physically lifts her 13-year-old son in and out of her car.

Away from the limelight, rapper Young Jeezy is giving back to the community by granting a wish of a mother whose young son is disabled. The Atlanta rapper who had once described his childhood "empty" is giving a wheelchair accessible vehicle to the mom who literally lifts her son in and out of her car.

A contest dubbed "Make Your Dreams Come True" was held to give a chance to one lucky winner whose wish will be granted by Jeezy. Tamara Jenkins-Wilson wrote from her North Carolina home: "My ultimate dream would be for me to provide a Wheelchair Accessible Van for my son, Davon Jenkins. Davon is 13-years-old and has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. I physically lift him in and out of our vehicle when we need to go to appointments and such."

Jenkins-Wilson's husband is in Iraq, serving the U.S. military. She and Davon will receive the Wheelchair Accessible Van on Tuesday, February 26 at Justin's Restaurant, Atlanta where they will also be treated with a dinner for invite-only.

This would not be the Jeezy's first philanthropic quest for after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he opened his house to the victims in an effort to help them have a place to stay. In December last year he also gave away Christmas toys for 1,000 children in Atlanta.
