Everybody also knows how generous the double platinum redhead can be. And it's the kind of generous she doesn't necessarily like to call attention to, either. (So, don't necessarily tell her I told you this…)

At a recent show in Georgia, someone left a note at one of the t-shirt stands asking Messina for help. Seems there's a man named Claude Bubba Anderson who needed a new lift for his wheelchair to get himself into his van. Though the note never reached Messina that evening, it did eventually make its way into the singer's hands.

Follow up:

The very next night when she was onstage, the reigning CMA Horizon Award winner told the audience about the situation and asked for their help too. "If people will go to the t-shirt stands and chip in their spare change, because every little bit adds up, I'll match it."

Look for Jo Dee to sing her current single, the chart-bounding "That's The Way" on CBS' "The Early Show" June 19th as part of their summer concert series.
