Knock-Knock! Who’s There? A Stranger Who Went Out Of His Way To Make This Mom’s Day!

Kim had no idea if or how her daughter would ever get her wallet back, but she certainly didn’t expect it to be delivered to her door!

That’s why, when a total stranger showed up at her house with her daughter’s wallet in hand, she was left absolutely speechless. Turns out, he came across it in a nearby parking lot. But rather than ignoring it or even letting the police know, this kind man chose to go out of his way to get the wallet back to its owner ASAP.

Kim was so thrilled by his kindness that she forgot to ask the gentleman for his name. Luckily, she knew just where to turn to in order to find him: The Neighbors App! Because she has a Ring camera, she was able to include footage of him returning the wallet.

“I wanted to share a heartwarming act of kindness,” Kim wrote. “… If anyone recognizes him, please let him know a neighbor gave him a shout out.”

Soon enough the man’s girlfriend came across the post and was happy to share that his name is Deronta! Best of all, the two of them have since connected and are making plans to hang out!

“I was just so happy when I found him,” Kim said. “I called him right away. What an awesome guy he is! My daughter will be contacting him herself and hopefully we can arrange a dinner soon.”

Thank you, Deronta, for setting a great example for us all!
