Karissa Collins and her husband have nine children. Her popular Instagram account "The Collins Kids" has more than 350,000 followers.

In a post written on Tuesday, Karissa explained how Shaq surprised her family, took them to dinner and bought them a couple of much-needed vehicles.

"I have no words right now!!! Today Shaq blessed us like never before. Like literally no words," she wrote.

"Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family at babes chicken. It was so much fun to just hang out and eat dinner with him."

She continued: "And then today!! He started the day off by taking us to the Mercedes dealership to get us a new family 15 passenger van.

We were outgrowing our 12 passenger van and the air conditioning wasn’t always working the greatest and so this is such an outrageous blessing.

They didn’t have any in stock and so we got to customize and order a van that should be here in July.

He then took us to dinner at rainforest café where he paid for another tables entire meal not knowing that they were from out of state and here on missions. And then he tipped our waitress $1000 after her car broke down today.

Just a great dude 💪 @SHAQ

And then when he saw my husband‘s truck that has been without air-conditioning and heat for a while he took us to a Ford dealership and blessed us with another truck.

He also spent time encouraging us and loving on our children and speaking life into our family. I am completely lost for words.

Somebody wake me up because I must be dreaming. Thank you Shaq times a million times!!! You have been such a blessing to us in so many ways."

Shaq later commented on the post with "Family is everything."
