thanks first presents a girl sends a
photo of herself to the wrong number and
it changes her family's life just about
everyone has sent out a text to the
wrong person at one point or another
there are some people who go to the
wrong contact in their list and send the
text to the wrong friend well there are
others who type in the number manually
and enter it wrong the girl that texted
a photo of her dress to a wrong number
she unexpectedly changed one family's
life a man named Tony woods he was at
home with his children when he got a
text message from a number that he
didn't recognize when he opened the
message he realized he received a text
that was meant for somebody else when
most people do get a text that's meant
for someone else they ignore it
well that's not what Tony did he decided
to be a nice guy and respond thanks to
his kind reply his family was saved the
text that Tony received was from a
high-school student she was shopping for
prom dresses and she wanted to get a
friend's opinion before buying the dress
her name is Sid and she chose a stunning
floor-length dress with jeweled details
well Tony understood why Sid sent the
photo because his own daughters often
worried about their appearance he wanted
to give Sid the reassurance that she was
looking for it before buying the dress
he responded to her text by saying I
believe this message was intended for
someone else
my wife isn't home so I couldn't get her
opinion but my kids and I think you look
stunning in that dress
you should definitely go with that one
along with the sweet text he sent Sid a
photo of his kids giving her a thumbs up
when Sid told one of her friends the
story she decided to give the Tennessee
father the attention he deserved and she
posted the story and the photos on
Twitter people thought what Tony did was
amazing and the post was retweeted
thousands of times it also received
thousands of likes when people saw the
Twitter post they became a bit curious
about Tony and his family after looking
at Tony's Twitter page people realized
that his wife and one of his six
children were not in the photo his
four-year-old son Keisler
wasn't in the photo because he was with
his mother at the
Hospital having chemotherapy treatment
that day people who were interested
learned about the little boys battled
with cancer when they found the link to
Tony's GoFundMe page to get money to
help with his medical bills a family
friend
set up the page and the people who
wanted to know more about this kind and
caring family decided they wanted to do
as much as they could to help when the
contributions started pouring in Tony
couldn't believe that so many strangers
could be so kind it wasn't long before
the account reached and then passed its
goal Tony says that due to his son's
medical issues his family has been
struggling financially when the account
reached over three thousand dollars he
had the money he needed to care for his
family Tony says that he worked overtime
to try to make enough money for his
son's treatment but it wasn't enough
finally thanks to his response to a
stranger's photo he was able to pay for
his son's care currently the doctors say
that Keisler is in the maintenance phase
of his treatment his treatments will
continue until 2019 in hopes of his
cancer going into remission this is
something the family could never have
afforded without the donations from
strangers when the family's GoFundMe
account
reached $10,000 they had all the money
they needed for their son when it went
over fifty three thousand dollars Tony
decided that he would help someone else
the way that he was helped he updated
the page with the story of another child
like his own who needed help the little
boy's name was Finn and he also had
cancer his survival was dependent on
radiation and surgery Tony decided to
start trying to collect donations for
little Finn so that he could be helped
the way that Keisler was when cyd
accidentally sent that photo of herself
at her prom dress she never expected
that she could change not just one
child's life but two when Tony and his
children responded to her photo he never
expected the attention he received he
also never expected to raise enough
money for not only his son's treatment
but for another little boy's as well
this just goes to show you that
something tiny like responding to a text
can completely change a person's life
Finn's family has almost reached their
financial goal for their son's medical
treatments they say that when they do
they're gonna change the account the
same way that Tony did so that another
child can be helped as well subscribe
