According to a report by ArrowheadAddict.com:
The first episode is up now (see above) and features a family in need due to economic strife from COVID-19. A single mother of three has been given limited hours and then was recently furloughed due to working in a hospitality industry devastated by the lack of tourists from shelter-in-place measures implemented for the coronavirus. In the video, Mathieu, who turned 28 years old last month, meets the mother and her children and surprises her with the news.
Judging by their reactions in the clip, the help was most appreciated.
