Teigen recently became aware of Charlotte, North Carolina resident Mercedes Edney and her quest to raise money for beauty school tuition. Edney started a crowdfunding page to assist her in attending the Academy of Nail Technology & Esthetics and detailed why she couldn’t afford the school on her own.

“The issue is that because of my current job, the only school that I can attend does not have financial aid and the scholarships that I have looked at, you have to already be enrolled in school and/or be half way through to even be eligible so that isn’t of much help to me either,” she wrote.

Through the first week in April, Edney had accumulated $300 of her $5995 tuition. That’s when Teigen came along and footed the rest of the bill.

“I’ve seen this be your passion for such a long time now. So excited to see you fulfill your dream!” Teigen wrote in a message on the page.

Edney shared her excitement on Instagram.

“My paypal alert went off, and as I looked at my phone, there was amount of $5605. I thought it was a glitch. I then look at my email and realized it came from my fundraiser,” she wrote.

“Chrissy Teigen donated my entire tuition money for school. I have been crying all night and I cried in the office this morning as I paid my downpayment for esthetician school,” she added.

Something absolutely amazing happened last night. Many of you know how much I love skin care and my plans to attend esthetician school next month. Last night I posted my tuition fundraiser on twitter and something I never in my wildest dreams happened. My paypal alert went off, and as I looked at my phone, there was amount of $5605. I thought it was a glitch. I then look at my email and realized it came from my fundraiser. @chrissyteigen donated my entire tuition money for school. I have been crying all night and I cried in the office this morning as I paid my downpayment for esthetician school. I haven’t been this happy in a very long time. Thank you Chrissy and thank you to everyone else who voted or rtd my link or have supported me this entire time. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. #ixorabb #futureesthetician

Edney is the owner of Ixora Botanical Beauty in Charlotte and already has a skin care blog and product line but lacked the license to become a certified esthetician.

“Skin is my love,” she said. “It’s my passion, and I realized that making my own products wasn’t enough. I wanted to be able to physically treat my customers as well!” she told NBC News.

Edney continued to express her gratitude in a series of tweets Friday morning.

If I ever meet Chrissy Tiegen in person, I'm giving her the biggest hug on earth.

I've been struggling for so long. I put my everything into my business. I have sacrificed so much just trying to focus on my goal..

And I'm crying again. I haven't even tweeted about everything. I've been in a perpetual state of holding my breath for like 2 years.

I was so prepared to just keep struggling until I got my goals accomplished. This just helped me so much.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!! @chrissyteigen I don't even know how else to thank you right now.

Teigen then chimed in to once again share her excitement for Edney’s bright future.

@CruzanChoklate I'm really excited for you to live out your passion
