The woman found a plastic bag with 15,000 dollars on the ground and looked for the owners

Diane Gordon is the perfect example of why it pays to do the right thing! Last month, she was walking to work when she stopped for a snack at a gas station and found an envelope full of cash in a plastic bag. In total about 15,000 dollars, or about 14,000 euros.

Instead of pocketing the money that would have made her life much easier, the American called the police. Diane explained to the Fox network that she could have used the money to buy a car and see her grandchildren. But she didn’t even imagine being able to keep it.

It turned out that the money belonged to a newlywed couple. Besides money, there were also wedding invitations and other gifts. Thanks to the honest woman, they were able to recover everything! But the story didn’t end here! Thanks to the White Lake Police Department and the generosity of strangers, Diane is now being amply rewarded for her good deed!

Agents launched a campaign on GoFundMe to help Diane get a new car, with an initial goal of $10,000. After her story went viral. At the time of writing, the counter is over 80,000 dollars (approximately 75,000 euros)! This heartwarming story shows that good deeds pay off. Diane’s action is an inspiration to strive to do the right thing, even when it’s not always easy, and even when there’s nothing in return!
