“Amanda Riggan, a full-time driver with FedEx and founder of “Hungry Heroes,” a non-profit that feeds first responders and veterans, was making her regular rounds last Thursday when she met a woman who tearfully shared with her that her husband had cancer. After the two made some small talk, Riggan left,” Fox News reported.
However, Riggan couldn’t stop thinking about the woman. What she did next is the reason her story is going viral.
“I drove off, my heart’s pounding. I do probably 20 more stops, and I have to go back,” Riggan shared in a video on Facebook after pulling to the side of the road. “I stopped what I was doing. I went back to that neighborhood. I rang her doorbell…and when she came down the stairs she had tears in eyes. When she saw it was me, she smiled.”
“Stop and do it.” Such a great story of obedience and taking time to be Love in someone’s life. https://t.co/5cewm2Cddc

Riggan returned to the home and was warmly greeted by the customer. The pair both broke down in tears as they shared a special moment together and Riggan prayed with her. It was an amazing act that she feels God specifically used her for on that day.
“I pray every day for the Lord to use me,” Riggan said through tears. “When you feel those tugs on your heartstrings, and you feel like you need to do this, stop and do it.”
She shared her experiences on social media. Her video quickly went viral and was seen over 11 million times.
