Thank you, Stranger: A chance encounter at Starbucks led to a meaningful friendship

Has someone ever taken you by surprise with a kindness that made a big difference in your life? Our series, “Thank You, Stranger,” looks at those special people and their impact. To celebrate Pride month this week, we have a story about a life-changing friendship.

If you have the story of a stranger who meant something to you, leave a voicemail with your story at 612-361-1252, or email us at minnesotanow@mpr.org.

Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

We attempt to make transcripts for Minnesota Now available the next business day after a broadcast. When ready they will appear here.
