Have you ever been living your daily life when you discovered something significant that belonged to someone else?
Maybe an elderly individual left a cane behind, or maybe a set of keys were dropped and were lying on the ground.
In Green Bay, Wisconsin, a small child discovered a misplaced wallet and knew just what to do with it.
A wallet was lying on the ground in Voyager Park when Vince Hietpas and his father Lorenzo were out for a stroll in the bright morning sunshine.
He took it and opened it to search for any signs of the owner’s identify.
When he came upon a driver’s license, he understood that the person’s home wasn’t really that far away.
The father and son decided to return the wallet to its rightful owner because it was a lovely Memorial Day morning and they were already out for a stroll.
Together, they walked to the residence, where Vince rang the doorbell. The exchange was captured on camera by a Ring doorbell.
Just before then, Chase Dahlke, the owner of the wallets, recognized what he had lost.
The wallet may have slipped out of Chase’s pocket while he was fishing early in the morning in Voyager Park.
He didn’t realize he had dropped his wallet until he got home at last.
Chase informed his parents, with whom he shared a residence, of the incident, and they all assumed that the child would be out of luck and would need to deactivate all of his credit cards.
When Vince knocked their doorbell, the family had made plans to join their neighbor for a Memorial Day Barbeque.
As the doorbell rang and Jason, Chase’s father, looked up from his phone, he noticed young Vince standing on his porch.
“Hi, we found your wallet.” said the boy, holding up the missing object.
After being startled, Jason hurried back home to express his gratitude to the young man for returning it.
Jason gave the youngster the $2 that was left in the wallet even though he didn’t have any cash on him at the moment.
The youngster gratefully received the award and carried on with the remainder of his father’s day.
But, Chase’s step-mom, Michelle, decided to spread the word about the little boy’s generosity and charity by posting a message on Facebook.
To generate more money for the kid and his father, she set up a GoFundMe page.
Michelle learned via Facebook that the Hietpas family was struggling since Covid-19 had led to his father losing his job.
With Lorenzo performing whatever random odd tasks he could find that his Covid side effects let him to perform, the family managed to get by.
Vince replied simply, “Socks,” when asked what kind of prize he truly desired. It turned out that he and his father had been swapping socks when they were short on cash.
Vince and his family have received almost $10,000 through the GoFundMe page; with that much money, he should be able to buy a lot of new socks.
