Audrey, a single mother of three, had to go to the hospital to get some tests done. She asked her neighbor Tisha — a mother of five and a Las Vegas bingo cashier — if her three kids could spend the night at her house.
Tisha and her husband agreed to take the kids for the night, even though their home was cramped enough as it was.

Audrey's test results came back. She was diagnosed with stage 2 esophageal and stomach cancer.
Knowing her time was running out, Audrey was desperate to make sure her kids would be taken care of. Though they weren't even close friends, she took a chance and asked Tisha to be the legal guardian of her children.

It wasn't long after that Audrey died.
Who would have ever thought that Tisha's little-known past had prepared her for taking on such a massive responsibility …
