The “Thanksgiving grandma,” who accidentally texted a dinner invitation to a teen she’d never met, invited him anyway and went viral for her kindness, is facing a new challenge as the holiday approaches.

Viral 'Thanksgiving Grandma' Wanda Dench, who stole hearts back in 2016 over a text mix-up, revealed some personal news through her new friend.

Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton’s annual Thanksgiving dinner will feel a little different this year. The two unlikely friends took to X, formerly Twitter, on Oct. 16 to share “a special message from Wanda.” They revealed that the 67-year-old “Thanksgiving Grandma” was diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
