Jacqueline Fanchini (Reporter)A YOUNG, unemployed mother has been applauded for returning €800 she found in a phone box in Alhaurin de la Torre.
Despite being jobless, on benefits and caring for her seven-year-old daughter, Teresa Gomez, 33, handed in the cash-stuffed wallet to police after finding it in the street.
The authorities tracked down the owner and returned the money to him.
The €800 was, in fact, his month’s wages and he was predictably overjoyed to have his ‘small fortune’ back.
What a lovely story, and well done to that young lady. Hope she will find some reward in her life soon.
Yes, well done indeed!
