Homeless man returns lost wallet
"I prayed that night and asked God to help me," said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to Thailand, her home country.
"I was sick all weekend."
That same weekend, a homeless man who roams the Santa Ana civic buildings also was searching for something. He made his routine visit to the trash bins nearby to look for aluminum cans. Instead, he found Bogue's wallet wrapped in a plastic bag. That Monday, the man, who declined to be identified, gave the money to Sherry Wesley, an Irvine woman who works in one of the buildings.
"He came to me with the wad of money and said 'This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it?'" Wesley said.
Bogue, a Garden Grove resident, received a call from her boss with
ugg women the good news. Someone recovered her wallet after she accidentally tossed it in the trash with her lunch.
"I couldn't believe it when
Men Moncler they called me," she said. "He has a very good heart. If someone else found it, the money would be gone."
Grateful, Bogue gave the man a $100 reward, which he split with Wesley. She gave the money to her church.
While the money would serve as a tempting find, especially for a homeless man, Wesley said the man's actions did not surprise her.
"I know he has got the biggest heart," she said. "Somebody like that who is so down on their luck and willing
moncler women to help someone out is a rare thing."
The man is familiar to many employees in the area, even though not everyone knows his name. While his 6foot5inch stature could intimidate most people, his friendly and courteous nature is in contrast to his appearance. He is chatty, but says little about
UGG MEN himself, except that he used to be in the Army. He also jokes about being alive when Moses parted the Red Sea. He greets people throughout the day and often speaks to Wesley, who serves food to the homeless community on Sundays with the Homeless Coalition of Orange County. To recognize his good deed, Wesley served him a special steak meal Sunday.
