A few weeks ago, Joshua bought a $20 floral couch at a neighborhood sale while turning his garage into a guest room. The seller, Kristen, said it belonged to her late mother and she was selling it to help her sick daughter.
Once home, Joshua’s dog, Wasabi, obsessed over one corner. Curious, Joshua checked and found a hidden package—bundles of money. Remembering Kristen’s story, he returned it to her. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Kristen said it would cover her daughter’s treatments.
Word of Joshua’s honesty spread online. Weeks later, he received an anonymous check matching the amount and a promotion at work, but what mattered most was a card from Kristen showing her smiling daughter: “Because of you, my child has a future.” Sitting on the same couch with Wasabi, Joshua realized it wasn’t about the money—it was about doing the right thing.
