As a tribute to fronliners in the United States, Ellen DeGeneres and television producer Andy Lassner will be giving away new cars all-month long.

One of the lucky fronliners to receive a brand new car was Los Angeles-based Filipina nurse, Flor Maylyn Roz.

Flor is a licensed practical nurse, aiding COVID-19 patients.

"I became a nurse because since I was a kid, I love helping people," she said in the interview.

"The pandemic has changed everything. People who are sick, since they cannot be visited by their family, I would be the one who's gonna be by their side and let them know that there is this person who loves them."

Flor is happily married and has a two-year-old son, whom she hasn't seen for months.

"It's been hard and I haven't been home for months because I work with COVID-19 patients and it's just heartbreaking not to see your family," she added.

"But I can't do anything but to be strong for them."

Flor also revealed that she tested positive for COVID-19 in March, which brought challenges to their lives financially.

"I got COVID back in March. I was positive. I had to stop working for months and it has affected me financially," she said.

"Right now, me and my husband share a car. If I don't have the car, I sometimes ask my co-workers to pick me up or I walk or sometimes I take Uber."

As a gratitude for Flor's tireless work of serving the community, Ellen drove a brand new Hyundai Palisade onto her driveway to surprise her.

The longtime TV host said, "It's just amazing what you're doing and I know you and your husband are sharing one car."

"So I've partnered with Hyundai and they want to thank you for your service and they want to give you this Hyundai Palisade.

"No more Ubers for you."
