It all began over a wrong text that Jamal Hinton received from a woman she didn't know. That errant text, however, turned into a new Thanksgiving tradition that is still going strong, six years later.
In 2016, a text that Wanda Dench sent to Jamal Hinton by accident resulted in Hinton, who is not related to Dench, attending a holiday dinner put on by Dench's family. That tradition is still going strong, six years later. FOX 10's Linda Williams reports.Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to gather, and in Arizona, one particular story has grabbed the hearts of millions, every year.
The text began by stating what time the Thanksgiving dinner would be, and once Hinton and the woman exchanged selfies, they knew it was a mix-up. Instead of un-inviting Hinton, the woman, identified as Wanda Dench, still extended the invitation. "My husband and I are friendly people. We just wrapped our arms around him and told him to come on in. Never occurred to me -- he told me later he was nervous about coming to my house, and I said 'what's there to be nervous about?' but he didn't know me either. He didn't know if we were some crazy white people is what he said," Dench said, recounting her first encounter with Hinton.
"My husband is very, very proud. He adored [Hinton] and his girlfriend, Mikayla, which I do too," said Dench. "He just knew that [Hinton] was special. An angel on Earth.
