A Mistaken Text Connected Them. Now They’ve Become One of America’s Favorite Thanksgiving Traditions
Their annual Thanksgiving tradition began from a mistaken text and continues to inspire joy, now supported by Green Giant catering this year.
- This year, Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton mark a decade of annual Thanksgivings, with the meal hosted at Jamal Hinton's house.
- The mix-up began when Wanda Dench accidentally texted Jamal Hinton, thinking he was her grandson, and after he replied with the wrong number, he still asked for a plate.
- Beyond Thanksgiving, Jamal Hinton has graduated, become engaged and started a business, while Wanda Dench has moved twice, lost her husband to COVID-19 and survived breast cancer.
- 12News is promoting the story via the 12News+ app and offers catch-up and extended pieces on the 12News YouTube channel and on-demand library.
- Preparing for future gatherings, Jamal Hinton plans to practice turkeys this year before next year, according to his statements.
