An 8th grade teacher in Florida called this week that she was not expecting.
It was the Good Samaritan who delivered her purse to her after she dropped it in a Walmart parking lot last weekend.
“I was like, ‘I dreamed it or what? “,” Debra Glover-Crosby told Fox News.
Debra Glover-Crosby has been trying for several days to track down her ‘hero’ to thank him properly for his kind gesture.

Glover-Crosby said she was shopping at the Jacksonville store last weekend when she realized her wallet was not there.
“I was in a panic mode,” she said.
To make matters worse, Glover-Crosby said her husband is not in town and that she has very little cash on hand to carry her through until he returns.
When she got home, she was surprised that her purse was waiting for her at the front door.

Footage from Glover-Crosby’s home security camera, which she later posted on Facebook, showed the Good Samaritan trying to deliver her purse in person.
“Hey, how are you? I got your wallet from Walmart,” the man told the camera after no one answered the door.
“I’m going to put it at the Amazon boxes,” he continues.
It was something Glover-Crosby never expected.
“It’s above and beyond,” she said. “I would probably have turned it into customer service or something, but I would never have thought of passing it on to the person to whom it belongs.”
When Glover-Crosby asked why he put in so much effort, he said ‘that’s how he was raised’.
Glover-Crosby said it’s the perfect story to tell her students on their weekly “What Would You Do?” Fridays.

This past weekend, Glover-Crosby reminded that ‘people are good by nature’, she said.
This is something she hopes for in her students, especially during the pandemic.
“When there is so much negativity, we need to focus on the positive things to raise our spirits,” she said. “We can choose to focus on the negative, but I choose to focus on the positive. And so I get my days.”
