Sometimes it can be overwhelming how much negativity there is in the world. Luckily though, there’s a lot of beauty in it too.
The story below about one teen’s act of kindness is sure to warm your heart.
It all started when Eliana Martin, a resident of California, lost her purse on a grocery shopping trip.
On the same day, a teenage boy found her purse in a supermarket shopping cart.
But instead of keeping the contents, the youngster rang Melina Marquez’s doorbell, a friend Eliana used to be housemates with.
Inside the purse was a driver’s license which belonged to Eliana, but she had not updated her address yet during the time of the incident.
So the teenager easily found Melina’s home.
“So my aunt heard the ring go off so she opened the door and receives the purse,” she told Inside Edition. “She was a little confused.”
The surveillance camera caught the guy explaining the bag was “in the parking lot” before respectfully driving off.
Melina wasn’t able to meet the good Samaritan.
“So I asked my aunt, I said ‘Did you get his name or did you at least give him 20 bucks?’” Melina recalled. “And she’s like ‘No, I didn’t know!’”
At that moment, Melina knew that she needed to find this pure-hearted person.
So she posted the CCTV video of the teenage guy on social media in the hopes of locating him.
Amazingly, a lot of people in San Diego ended up spreading the post.
