Man's simple Christmas gift sparks chain of eerie 'Godwinks,' then a final twist stuns everyone

The couple believes the Lord works in mysterious ways. To see how - read on. 

That image haunted him. After dropping off his wife and kids, he turned around to see if the woman needed help. 

Spotting her still walking on the berm, he pulled his car over, lowered the window and asked the woman if she needed assistance. 

The look on her face shifted from fear and worry to surprise and relief.

Wright filled her gas can and drove the woman, TunDe Hector, back to her car. 

As he was about to leave, he decided to give her what he had left in his wallet. Handing her $40, he apologized that it couldn't be more. 

She teared up and thanked him. She also silently thanked the Lord for answering her prayers. 

She asked Wright, "Can I hug you?" 

As he drove away, he felt a surge of gratefulness that he had even a little something to help someone in need so close to the holidays. He also recalled that his mother had always told him that whenever she sent him off to school in the morning, "be nice to someone today."

The hospital said she could go home if she had a nurse's aide to help her. The aide originally scheduled for the job couldn't make it, so a substitute arrived. 

The substitute aide's name was TunDe Hector.

From the very beginning, Wright's mother was drawn to Hector. Her warmth, kindness and gentle care brought comfort during a very difficult time.

When Wright stopped by one day, his mother introduced him to Hector. She said she'd worked as a nurse's aide on and off for several years but had always dreamed of becoming a nurse.

Then she asked Wright if he attended church. When he said yes and named the church, her face lit up.

"I met a young man from that church," she said excitedly. 

Wright gasped and said, "That was me."

The words flashed through his mind before he said them aloud, "Wow, what are the odds?"

Again, just like before, they hugged.

They started a GoFundMe campaign, hoping to raise $1,000, to help Hector pursue nursing school. But her story touched so many that the campaign grew beyond their dreams. 

When Wright handed her a check for $35,000, Hector nearly collapsed in tears, overwhelmed by the love and generosity surrounding her.

Today, Hector has completed her nursing school training. She learned that her employer was going to pay 100% of her tuition for law school. 

Hector's impressive journey, stemming from Wright's act of Christmas kindness, is a reminder that Godwinks are real. They put people in the right place at the right time, guiding individuals to touch the lives of others and be touched in return.
