Thanks SN Greg Wright. This story reminded me of Little Red Riding Hood gong to visit grandma who was a witch :-)
This is a great story of a deliberate act of kindness which resulted from a random phone number mistake. I am glad that unnamed grandma followed up after she recognized her error and invited Jamal Hinton to a home cooked meal in Mesa, Arizona.
Hinton told KNXV, "People can actually connect and be so nice to each other with people they don't even know."
This story also reminds us to be very careful about posting contact information about other people without their knowledge or permission.

Now that is awesome! It would be funny to know what she thought when her phone started going off with all those messages!

I think she handled the situation with the message of giving thanks...however in today’s world you should be very careful. This could have gone so terribly wrong. Delighted to see a “Happy Ending” as I feel we are ALL in need of Hope!

The need to put this grandma in charge of VA, I bet she would make sure military people are taken care off
