Her challenge quickly gained attention online because many viewers were touched by her effort to help her 17-year-old grandson during his difficult health battle.Things became frightening in the early hours of May 19 when police suddenly arrived at her home after someone reportedly made a fake emergency call. According to GrammaCrackers, around five SWAT vehicles, twenty police cars, drones, and several armed officers showed up at her property. Officers entered the home and woke her up while she was sleeping. Even though the situation could have been very dangerous, GrammaCrackers later surprised viewers by saying she actually thought the experience was “kinda fun.”
