While walking to work, an elderly spots a win of almost $15,000 and receives a much larger prize.
No matter how small or big an act of kindness is, it always makes a big difference.
Diane Gordon, 65years old, walks three miles every day to go for work. Her car broke down about three years ago, and she was unable to get the money to fix it. This grandmother didn’t have it easy, but she couldn’t do anything about it because her money was tight.
One day, she noticed a bag on the ground while walking to work and stopped at a gas station for food. She saw that there was a lot of money inside as she got closer.
She stated to WJBK, “I looked down and found a plastic bag with a large amount of money in it.” “There was even more money inside when you turned it over.”
Diane was completely taken aback. Who could have lost that much money, she wondered. Even though she was aware that the $15,000 inside could solve many of her problems, she never even gave the money a second thought. On the other hand, she immediately contacted the nearby police station. Diane stated, “I need to call a police officer because this doesn’t belong to me.”
It wasn’t hard to find the rightful owners because there was a card inside that said the money had been given to a couple who had married earlier that day.
In an interview with The Washington Post, White Lake Township Police Department Chief Dan Keller stated, “We were able to get the money back to them. There were wedding cards with a name on them.”
The police were surprised by Diane’s behavior. “She did not pause” The police chief said of Diane, “She didn’t question it.” It’s not often that a large sum of money is found and returned.”
One of the dispatchers who received Diane’s call made the decision to establish a GoFundMe page to help Diane pay for car repairs as a token of appreciation for her kindness. Diane, on the other hand, received a brand-new Jeep from a nearby car dealership once the news got out. She was able to receive more than $82,000 as of the fundraising.
Her kindness was truly rewarded. She did the right thing, and she got a much bigger thank you than she could have ever imagined.
