650lb housebound mother sobs as she sees 'Fresh air'

 

A Californian woman who weighs over 650lbs and has been housebound since 2007 has finally caught her first glimpse of life outside four walls again.

Bonnie's confinement began when her beloved mother died, after which she refused to leave the house. Paralyzed with grief when her father then died two years later, she hasn't since left her bed and has relied entirely on her 24-year-old daughter Jamesha to exist.

But in an intervention stunt pulled off by TV life coach Iyanla Vanzant, a construction crew freed her by cutting a hole through her bedroom wall, and Bonnie was wheeled out into the sunshine on a gurney, as shown in a recent episode of Own network's Iyanla: Fix My Life.

 

 'Fresh air!' exclaims Bonnie, breaking into wrenching sobs.

 Feel the sun, Miss Bonnie,' returns Iyanla, prompting the overwhelmed woman to open her eyes.

Bonnie, who is wearing a new dress for the big reveal, is greeted with a rapturous applause from her collective neighbors, and tears from her daughter and full-time caretaker, Jamesha.

'I'm sorry everybody, I'm sorry!' Bonnie repeats, near-hysterical.

'No sorry!' Iyanla enthuses. 'Thank you. She says "Thank you" everybody.'

After an emotional bear hug with her young grandson, in which she can be heard whispering, 'I told you I was going to take you outside', Bonnie is ready to be taken to hospital in an ambulance for a full evaluation.
