DENVER – A man's life has been changed thanks to a stranger who is on a mission to help others.

Denver's KDVR reports that James Moss moved to Denver with his son, Zhi, after a friend told him about a job opportunity and offered him a place to stay. But before he landed in his new city, the offer fell through.

“It seemed like everything I was trying to do was falling apart,” Moss said.
