The mum-of-three, who also has three dogs, shared her son’s selfless act on Facebook, where she said: “The last couple weeks have literally been hell filled with so many tears, anger, confusion and heart ache.”
Knowing how much his mum needed a car, William trawled the internet looking for a cheap set of wheels he could get his mum.
After he spotted an advert for a white 1999 Chrevolet Metro – which can sell for up to around $3,000 (£2,298) second hand according to Autotrader – he got in touch with the seller.
Speaking to KOLO TV, The teenager said: “It was really cheap so I asked if I could trade the X-Box, or earn it.

“At first she said no, and then she thought about it and she said yes.”
William was also doing odd jobs for people in his community, including mowing lawns, so he saved up and worked off his debt for the car.
Krystal never twigged what he was up to, despite William asking her random questions about “vehicles and different parts”.
Writing online, she said: “I have no words right now that can express how I am feeling at this moment. Today I got the shock of my life.
“As some of you may know my son William, who is a lawn mowing, yard cleaning, money making machine.
“Well my son had a job today that he had to go do and so I allowed him to go assuming it was like any other time.
“Well this time was different. Very different.”
She described the moment she was surprised with the car, with William coming home one day and saying “Mom I bought you a car”.

Initially she laughed at him, but he said he was serious, and told her they “had to go”.
She said: “And much to my surprise I go in my front yard and OMG there is a woman standing there and William said she was giving us a ride.
“William jumps in the car so I’m like ok?? This is some kind of joke right.”
Krystal’s new car was waiting for her as they pulled up to the seller’s house.
She said: “And here I thought it was a joke… Nope I was handed the keys and paperwork to the car and I’m freaking out but so in shock like Omg this is happening right now.

“So we got into the car it started right up and off we went.”
At that moment she says she broke down, saying: “I completely lost it. I started balling my eyes out.
“I am speechless my 13 year old son bought me a car.
“He did some work for this woman and that was his payment that he worked out with her.
She ended her post by saying how much she loved her son, and how proud she was of him.
Krystal wrote: “He may have his days but OMG what 13 year old kid do you know that buys his mom a car.”
