A South Memphis family got the surprise of a lifetime this week – a new home paid in full.

You may have recently seen the video on your Facebook timeline, but it’s not the first time FOX13 has spoken to the family.

About four months ago, we first met 7-year-old Legend Johnson and his family after he was innocently shot in his grandmother’s home in South Memphis.

At the time, he was recovering at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, eating popsicles.

Now, his grandmother has a new home.

Olivia Johnson says she first met Ashley Grayson on Facebook, and they’ve grown closer since.

“We met on Facebook like five years ago. She hit me up on the inbox. She asked if I could do promo for her, and she could fix my credit, and I was like, ‘yeah, cool,’” Johnson said.

Since then, Grayson has given back to single moms across Memphis, buying cars and now, a home.
