FedEx Driver Aubrey Robinson bought a new basketball hoop for a boy she often saw shooting hoops while driving her route. The old hoop was bent and rusty, and she felt the boy deserved a new one -- the best one money could buy. She left a note that read, “Just wanted you and your son to have the best hoop that’ll grow with him and all his friends.” Eleven-year-old Elijah Maines was stunned when he got home. “When I saw she got me a new hoop, I was shocked, just totally shocked. My head was racing. It was crazy she randomly did it for me when she could have done it for anyone else.” Elijah’s mom Coledo said, “It’s just been a hard year. We’re humbled and grateful she would do this for us. This has been a huge, huge thing for our family.” Robinson now comes by to play basketball with Elijah when she's in the neighborhood.
