Friendly folks in Chula Vista pooled their money to reward a young man who returned a purse left behind in the parking lot of a grocery store.
“I looked into the Ring camera, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. He’s such a young kid.’ I was like, ‘We need to find him and just give him a little piece of gratitude.’” recalled Marquez.
She posted the Ring video of Rodriquez on Facebook and the Chula Vista community quickly went to work.“Thank God, we found him,” said Marquez.They also surprised Rodriquez with the results of an online fundraiser they created in his honor. The community donated more than $1,115 in less than a day. “It feels good. I appreciate it. I really do, everything everybody’s doing,” said Rodriquez. “My mom always told me since I was little to always do the right thing when nobody’s around.”
“Every parent right now hopes that their children grow up to be just like this young gentleman,” concluded Marquez.This article tagged under:
