There weren't many dry eyes left in Nokia Theatre last night after Jennifer Hudson accepted one of the biggest awards of the evening at the 2014 People's Choice Awards. After receiving the award for Favorite Humanitarian on Jan. 8, the powerhouse singer broke down in tears while discussing the foundation she began following the murders of her mother, brother and nephew in October 2008.
"I have to start off saying the same thing I said when I won my Oscar -- look what God can do!" Hudson, 32, said to the standing audience. "This all started, like I said, back home in our church where we grew up. My mother always taught us that without family you have nothing, and whether you know it or not all are family, and what happens to the other happens to us, so it's very important to make a difference."

In 2008, Hudson's 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson, 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson and 7-year-old nephew Julian King were murdered in Chicago by her older sister Julia Hudson's estranged husband William Balfour.
*JHud has really come to stay, so happy for her!!!
