　　Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris ,who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move ,Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson's disease.

　　Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead , a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.

　　One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only$5 in her pocket ,was walking to a gas station, gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story , Judy's son, Chris, took off his hat and said ,"That was me!" He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.

　　During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDe's family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse.Her tuition was past due（逾期） and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.

Judy died on July 9,2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners(悼念者） to donate to TunDe's education , to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.
