An Accidental Text To The Wrong Number Changes A Young Boy’s Life Forever

Life is filled with chances.

We just have to take them. That is what happened when a woman wanted to ask her family about the evening gown she was trying on. However, it accidentally went to the wrong number.

A father of six kids actually owned the wrong number, and rather than ignoring the message, he replied with a lovely message claiming that he and his kids loved the evening gown.

Sound pretty normal, right? Well, that is when it all changed.

I thought, let’s try and make this young lady’s day. I figured that the children’s response would accomplish that substantially better than some middle aged overweight bald guy!

This was the gown she was wearing.

And it honestly does look great.

I especially love the ends.

So that is why Tony, a dad-of-six, replied with the sweetest message.

Even his five kids were involved in approving of the gown.

Unsurprisingly, the sweet texts went viral on Twitter.

And it turns out, the reason the sixth kid Kaizler was missing from the picture was because he was at his chemo clinic.

So this text really helped Kaizler to get the treatment he needed.

Hello! Apparently you have made my children Twitter famous! My 2nd youngest (not pictured, he was at chemo clinic) has a FB page for his fight against Leukemia and one of our Prayer Warriors recognized the children! Btw, my wife agreed that the dress looked great! God Bless!

Since this all started we’ve had over $3,000 donated. That’s more than we had donated in total over the last 2 years. It’s been amazing and is a bigger blessing than anyone could ever know.

We were backed up to a financial wall. I’ve been working the entire time, but I was slowly but surely succumbing to the financial rigors of the situation.

Thankfully more than $3000 has been raised since the tweet went viral.

It is so refreshing to be reminded that there are good people in the world who still care about others and are quick to be generous and kind to others.

I would also like to thank EVERYONE from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words, all the prayers, all the donations, all the love and support.

We honestly would never have been able to make it this far in our journey without every single one of you!!!
