Kelly Clarkson Surprises High School Football Star Giving Back To Foster Kids

[@TheSkyMex]

What an inspiring young man. When we lived in Nebraska we fostered several children and had the opportunity to adopt three. I know Malachi's parents are very proud of him, heck the whole state of Nebraska is proud of this young man. Go Malachi, Go Big Red!

[@nopenope9118]

Thank you for adopting!

[@darkcontinentschild2962]

Upstanding young man. I think he’s of Sudanese descent. Good on his parents for choosing him to be a permanent member of their family💕

[@davidvaldez2182]

Not just him but his sister to!!

[@faithmunyao1135]

He does look sudanese.

[@peppermintparis8223]

They both are so beautiful.

Malachi is a extremely wonderful person! These are the best stories that the whole world needs to hear today not all the negativity in our media today!

[@kyleeroebuck2322]

Wow, how awesome to see Malachi on the show! I’m from Nebraska and we’re all so so excited to watch him do what he does best with the Huskers!

[@jenniwilliams3295]

That's so awesome!

[@dream_in_digital]

Malachi is an incredible young man. Proud to have him as a Husker. GBR!!!

[@toni-leebrown7864]

Omg😢😢 the way how he explained the feeling he got from opening the door for someone and they showing appreciation 😢😢😢 got me

[@blueturtle1719]

Malachi is an Amazing young man. Thank you to the parents for giving him so much love/support.

[@swallman]

His sister is blessed to have him looking out for her his whole life, I can't imagine how strong their bond must be. Two kids to go through such hardships together. Wish I was young enough to watch them grow old. Someone watch them for me and look up to the sky and tell me about it.

[@SFChick415]

What stunning looking kids. They're beautiful inside and out!

[@angelabest4468]

Malachi an amazing young man you are. Way to go mom and dad. Rad humanS.

[@michaelmorehouse8872]

This kid has a BRIGHT future. Keep up the great work.

[@Lolli4Liberty]

Oh, my heart.🥹 The heart in this handsome young man, makes me have so much hope for our future generations. He is a natural born leader and a true inspiration to all. Best of luck to Kai. God love him and his family. BTW, my sons name is Kai. Great name. 😊❤

[@billycordery6479]

What a beautiful soul Malachi is. He and his sister just needed the safe and loving place to be allowed to blossom.

[@mohdasrisulong4617]

What an inspiration ... Damn proud of you Chi .... I myself had a great time at Lincoln during my 5 years studying there in the mid 80s ... Once a Huskers, always a Huskers ... Don't stop believing Chi ... Hope you are off to a great start for your freshman year ... All the best ...

[@arch410]

I'm not crying... yes I AM!! 😭😭😭❤❤❤ This guy and his family. What a beautiful story.

[@brandonm6052]

Husker fan from Lincoln, NE. Football will just be the vessel for God to do his work through him. I wish him success to help garner more awareness for his cause.

[@lckhmup-xf5ft]

I live in Nebraska, so proud we recruited this young man! GO BIG RED!🏈🎈😎

[@joandavis6543]

This young man is going places! His heart is huge. Big shout out to his parents, what hearts they have as well! ❤

[@scrappingscootergirl]

What AN AMAZING young man!

[@geisalagordon9966]

Alright, young man! Thank you to his parents that chose to adopt after they were okay not having children. God bless this family

[@danmccain3442]

What an amazing young man and future star WR. Proud to be a Husker!

[@josier521]

What a GREAT young man!!!! Bravo!!!

[@pdig2963]

It's so sad to feel the way these foster children do, not feeling loved or wanted 😢 He is a inspiring young man ❤❤

[@johnnieblackwell]

Maaaan, those are some handsome kids!!! On top of everything else.

[@annmurdochbrown9034]

It doesn’t take money to be a Kindness Ambassador. To open your heart to others to provide them opportunities to showcase their inner souls and talents. What a wonderful young man 👏. And to do it so selflessly. Thank you to the couple for being colour blind and making a positive difference.🙏

[@layalaya9367]

COLOUR BLIND???? They are not colour blind, they love and support him irrespective of his skin tone.

[@DG-mo5kr]

I didn’t know this story about Malachi. I think he has a bright future. Can’t wait to see him play!

[@donnadonaldson9671]

Malachi is such an extraordinary young man. I wish him all the best!

[@donnapitton4251]

This is AWESOME !! Thank you Kelly for bringing these stories to the attention of so many of us that watch you daily and love you !! This young man is AMAZING and with the love and help of these 2 people that took in Malachi and his sister...without you 2 these kids would probably not be alive today !! Please have them back on Kelly and let us know how they are GROWING !! LOVE YOU ALL

[@HanusAndrew]

Malachi seems like such a great young man! I'm excited that my hometown is in a situation to give back to him and hopefully help him develop into the potential that he's shown!!

[@cocochante6685]

This young man is handsome! His skin is flawless and beautiful! If football doesn’t work out, he can become a model!

[@krystalbauer967]

Who cut the damn onions in here?? Whew!! Love this so much! Im always a Hawkeye but I will always LOVE the Big 10 and promote this young man!!🖤💛

[@melindapfeifer5755]

I Iove this comment. You cheer for the Hawkeyes, yet you recognize the great young people on opposing teams. The Huskers and Hawkeyes are supposed to dislike each other according to the sports media. For you to recognize the great things that any young man can achieve, no matter the team he plays for is awesome! Much respect to you. The fact that the Hawkeye fans do the wave to the children in the nearby hospital after the first quarter, is one of the best traditions out there. I’m a Husker fan that doesn’t hate other teams. Respect to all the Big Ten schools.

[@KPazzz]

Wow wow wow! What an exceptional young man. Wow 🤩

[@luvblueshockey]

I've seen this young man's story before, but it was before he started his nonprofit. What a great human he's growing into. So thankful these wonderful people were picked by whoever to be their parents. The world is their oyster!!! I love this!

[@Ceasar8980]

Humanity at its best 😢😢😢

[@irollerblade13]

Isn't it crazy how much good parenting can change a childs mind into being a good person... No it's not crazy you become who you are during your developing years. This is a great story Great foster parents and Great young man.

[@chriskelly6559]

Quality human being, very fine young man. All the best to him.

[@sonptbhtx7989]

GOOD FAMILY GREAT YOUNG MAN

[@Theleaddog]

A football, a dream and someone to notice this and love you enough is all you need. This boy found his future and this family did too. Beautiful.

[@jenniwilliams3295]

This had me in tears. What he said about possibly not being there is something that definitely could have happened but you fought and he took care of his sister and I can't even fathom how hard it was to learn to trust. The favors for people in public thing is used for a lot I have a agoraphobia meaning going to the store is torture I'm terrified and my therapist said when you're out compliment or help to people and I started doing it and I started to notice that I wasn't as afraid but still agoraphobic but you start to see people's reactions to just small things and it shifts how you are feeling. I can't wait to see him playing because to be wanted by that many schools he's obviously very talented. When Mama started crying over the donation that was it for me I was lost.

[@money4life4eva35]

Fly like Chi super cool I love that he made a change because we look outside of ourselves for someone else to make a change we have to challenge ourselves to make a change. Fly like Chi ❤

[@carolyntrahan9751]

Wow Malachi you are A Very beautiful soul sugar and all the hardships made you even better as a person truly love this family for their beautiful caring

[@smoochesnfeathers9493]

His skin is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@wendyking2612]

Malachi I am so proud of you, your sister and your parents. Thanks for giving back in a big way. When I grow up, I want to be like you. I pray for you, your sister and your beautiful parents. 🧡💛💚💙💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Malachi I just became a subscribed of Kelly's show because of you.

[@cecilehoffmancecile7083]

Thank you so much for loving these great kids!

[@SunflowerandtheBussLady]

Such a beautiful family. I hope his sister is also getting her opportunity to find her path and passion. She’s a gorgeous young lady, and you can see how proud she is of her brother. Thanks dude wipes, you’re the best! 🥰🙏🏽✌🏽❤️

[@Rockindobbs]

What a kid! Sometimes all it takes is love & safety to bring out who they truly are! So many kids could be great if not for their circumstances.

[@lionelwells5618]

Great story,he's going to go very far and do Great things. Awesome

[@Kerri.on.baggage]

Way to go Malichi! Keep doing great things!!!! My sister and brother in law are also a blended family. After trying for their own for 10+ years they adopt their son at 5 days old and three years later they adopted his half sister at 3 days old. They have other half siblings. 4-5 of them are with their grandma and 4-5 are adopted to other family’s. My sister and BIL have made it a point to connect them (as long as it’s a healthy situation).

[@lisaschaffel266]

I am really happy for him and choosing them as his foster parents

[@celinesbubyvelez761]

Kelly did such a good job because she knows the same situation this young man went thru with absent parents 💕 glad to see kids getting loved by someone who isn’t each other 💕

[@firebird189]

We never know how one act of gratitude and kindness can affect someone.

[@fatsackafat1476]

GBR! Happy to have this young man on the team and representing our state!

[@moonbot7613]

Go Big Red! Cant wait for him to play for our Huskers.

[@traceytheisen8067]

Awesome parents, fantastic kid. Great story!

[@bossmachi]

How beautiful inside and out, and I must say he has an almost breath taken phenotype match to the Dinka people/S.Sundanese and intelligence ❤❤❤

[@devrayne6770]

Is he African? I thought he was south Sudanese.

[@NickTV12]

I'm not crying, I'm bawling

[@jenniwilliams3295]

Me toooo

[@evrgrnmom]

What an amazing young man! And his "mom and dad" who opened their hearts and their home to Malachi and his sister. They are helping those two kids reach for the stars and atain their goals. I wish Malachi all the best as he enters college and pursues football and his foundation to help other foster kids. He will go far!

[@michaelreiter503]

Good to see the young man take pride in himself and do what he feels with the strength and heart he’s been given 🙏

[@blondie4263]

What an utterly beautiful soul he has. God bless him, his sister, and family. He's already doing amazing things. Ugh, I'm so touched by this story.

[@gdaygday1209]

I love his name and the beautiful soul he is. ❤💯🙏🙏

[@christineroberts6972]

God bless ❤ what an amazing family! Everyone should learn from the beauty of them.

[@scm0717]

For a young man to grow up not being able to trust people to automatically wanting to helping others in the same boat, is an incredible story. Well done and God Bless!

[@conrad8777]

Beautiful story,much love to his foster parents Craig and Miranda ❤

[@shirleyryser7621]

Wow, way to go, Coleman family. McCook, NE is proud of you! Malachi, it is easy to see that you are going to do great things. What a wonderful heart you have.

[@hirainawhaanga6253]

These parents are amazing. Its hard enough looking after foster kids but to take on 2 troubled chikdren that had not known any love or kindness is mammoth task.mat tge bright light of goodness always shine upon you all.

[@1saawce567]

Not for nothing, beautiful story, that being said everyone on that stage is successful and multimillionaires. They could have done better than 15k even tho it’s a nice gesture it’s more of an advertisement for their own company at that point. This kid been through trash and made treasure from it, he deserves a fresh start in every way. I wish the lord would let me hit the lotto so I can actually help people and not just become a broke crackhead in a few years

[@dianeenlow123]

We need more young men like him
