Jayla Henry is a 26-year-old influencer from Dallas who just gave her husband the greatest Christmas gift he could probably ask for.
On Christmas morning, her husband Tony unwrapped a pair of shoes with the words "Debt Free" printed across them.
Confused, Tony looked at Jayla who told him "I want you walking around debt free." Unbeknownst to Tony, Jayla had completely paid off his student debt.
Before Tony could even respond, Jayla handed him the phone, with a Sallie Mae representative on the other line. The rep concluded the phone call saying, "Congratulations to him, he's one lucky guy."
Jayla told Buzzfeed, "I'm a big crier, so there were instant tears in my eyes. Seeing his appreciation was all I needed, but it also was so special to me that he cried too since he doesn't do it often. He knew how much of a sacrifice I had to make in order to pay them. After the video cuts, I received the biggest, longest hug, a million 'Thank yous,' and an 'I owe you the world now.' I am just so happy we can close that chapter of debt!"
