ame across an envelope full of money.
“I just realized, there’s a lot of money, like a lot of hundreds,” said Wills of the find. “I just went to get the manager and the vice president.”
The money added up to $3,100 found in the inside jacket pocket of a suit that had just been donated. The envelope was addressed to a man who, after a quick online search, was found to have died a year ago. However, after calling a local funeral home, the man’s widow was reached.
The most exciting part of whole experience, Wills said was returning the money. According to Goodwill staff, the woman had no idea her husband had the envelope of money stashed in his suit, and had no idea where it came from.
“It was really good, it was really great,” Wills said of meeting the man’s widow. “She was surprised. She gave me $100 for the reward for finding it.”
