With over 350,000 followers, the family shares glimpses of their life and their friendship with Shaq.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1141\">Shaq regularly connects with the family through Instagram.

A few months later, he surprised the family with dinner at Babe\u2019s Chicken. They had a blast eating and hanging out together.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1573\">The next day, Shaq took the family to a Mercedes dealership. There, he ordered a custom 15-passenger van, scheduled for delivery in mid-July. The family was stunned by his generosity.

During another dinner at Rainforest Caf\u00e9, he paid for an entire table\u2019s meal, unaware they were out-of-state visitors on a mission trip. Later, after learning their waitress\u2019s car broke down, he tipped her $1,000.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1848\" data-end=\"2061\"><strong data-start=\"1848\" data-end=\"1882\">A New Truck for the Family Dad<\/strong><br data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1885\" \/>Shaq also discovered the father\u2019s truck had broken air conditioning and heating.
