Living on the streets and walking down Church Street in New Haven, Connecticut, Elmer Alvarez was impoverished. A man once noticed a piece of paper on the ground while out for one of these “walks.”

He snatched it up without realizing that the “paper” was actually a $10,000 cheque! Most people would have considered it a good deal, but Elmer didn’t.


The owner’s name and last name were on the cheque. In order to locate a woman on the Internet, Alvarez visited the home of a friend.

He discovered a $10,000 check, which the unarmed man presented to his owner, who discovered much more than just cash.

It was Outreach Realty Services’ proprietor. They arranged a rendezvous after Elmer called Hoskey. The man gave the check back that same day.


To put it gently, Roberta was moved and horrified by the homeless man’s gesture. They already lost their hope to find it, and didn’t expect such kindness from a stranger.

She told the man about her past and how she had also experienced homelessness. It was impossible to believe her, as she runs a whole company now. Just a different fate was waiting for her and she didn’t give up at any point of her life, even when she was homeless.

Elmer was given free admission to Roberta’s real estate school. She also provided him with a sizable honorarium.

After that, her business paid for an English course and gave him free lodging. He discovered a $10,000 check, which he gave back to its owner because he had discovered much more than just silver.

When Alvarez returned the check, he had not anticipated such a gift from fate. However, he was certain that he had a great opportunity to turn his life around. The man asserts that angels are present on earth in addition to heaven.
