Boy Is Mindblown After Receiving Lost Wallet In The Post With A Note And Extra Cash Inside

Nov 28, 2018 by apost team

How scary would it be to have your wallet stolen? I’m sure you’re sweating just thinking about it, and who wouldn’t be?

The average wallet holds countless valuable objects that, when placed in the wrong hands, can turn your world upside down. Credit cards, licenses, social security numbers, all ripe for the taking, unless your wallet only contains a few bucks and a library card.

Fortunately, for one young man, the mistake of dropping his wallet was turned into a real blessing.

Hunter Shamatt was traveling with his family for a wedding in Las Vegas, Nevada. Everything seemed right with the world until he found out his wallet was missing after getting off the plane. You can imagine the stress he must have been feeling, knowing that his wallet could be flying away on an airliner and right into the hands of a thief.

According to his mother, Jeannie Shamatt, his wallet contained his I.D., debit card, a signed check, and $60 in cash. It’s an understatement to say that poor Hunter was up a river without a paddle. Anyone could have taken advantage of this situation and been sitting pretty with a new name had this not happened next.

When Hunter returned home, having accepted that his wallet and everything in it was gone, he checked his mailbox and, much to his surprise, found his wallet, exactly the way he left it, but with a note attached. Jaw to the floor, he opened the note. It was short and sweet, stating that Hunter had dropped it on the plane and that the mystery do-gooder, who signed the note with his initials, had left him a little extra something.

That little extra something happened to be a total of $100 that the stranger managed to scrape up. Yes indeed,the man was struggling financially and he not only turned down the opportunity to turn his luck around, he also gave what little he had. Isn’t that something?

Did you think the story was over?

We’re not done yet, because as it turns out, Jeannie, the afore mentioned mother of Hunter, was so grateful for the stranger’s kindness that she decided to find out who it was and thank him herself. She sent a post over the internet with a picture of the letter Hunter received, asking others to spread the word until it got back to the good samaritan in question.

Once she thanked the stranger named Tom Brown, she sent out another post, proclaiming that Tom had restored her faith in humanity and that good news is just as important as bad.

While it’s still important to hold onto your belongings, just remember that within all of the bad, there is plenty of good. Look for it and you’ll find it, and maybe you might just get your wallet back with an extra $100.

If this story warmed your heart, remember that it could warm the hearts of others as well, so don’t keep it to yourself. What did you think about this amazing act of kindness? Drop a comment and let us know!
