Over the weekend, Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar surprised a fan at a backstage meet-and-greet with a very special gift.

Jennifer Phillips of Dallas, Texas, injured her spinal chord 10 years ago in a car accident that left her wheelchair-bound, Billboard reported. Last year, she launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for a new, wheelchair-accessible van. The campaign raised just over $4,000.

Last Friday, Phillips attended Lamar’s Dallas concert. After the show, the rapper greeted her backstage with a signed jacket featuring a handwritten note, and an amazing surprise:

“Thank you for always supporting me. Your a inspiration for me. You are strong and positive. Your kind and beautiful. For all the years of inspiring me, the least I can do is make sure your comfortable driving the city. A gift from me to you. Your always appreciated! — K. Lamar.”

Lamar purchased a brand-new van that will allow Phillips to get around safely, and to attend more concerts in the future.

In an Instagram post Saturday, Phillips expressed her gratitude to her favorite artist, whose work she has followed for years.

So about last night… lol. If you know me or even just look in my Instagram profile for two minutes then you know I am a huge Kendrick Lamar and TDE fan/supporter for YEARS. I’ve been to every show Kendrick has had in Dallas including the first one that even he forgot about lol and one in Austin. That’s 8 shows and not including the other TDE artists shows. I was a big fan of music and concerts before my injury but I never supported and loved a label like theirs before. Of course they have great music but they are also great people. None of them have ever treated me like a stranger or a charity case lol. I didn’t meet them because I’m in a wheelchair. I just know great people (shout out to @bluethegreat for the initial in person introduction to Dot & Q). I never supported them for any benefits like this lol. Their music and shows were enough for me. But this is amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all and always will. Thank God for you Kendrick and I will continue to pray for you. And like I said, next time I’m driving myself to your show lol. Thanks to the whole team! #tde
