BOSTON -- A homeless Navy veteran performed a simple act of kindness this holiday season by making sure a lost wallet got back to its rightful owner.
Brian Christopher has no income and spends his nights at a local shelter.
On Monday he came across a wallet outside Boston City Hall, with $172, but no identification.
“I was thinking what it would mean for Christmas with no income and three kids at home with my wife, but my moral compass wouldn’t let me do that,” said Christopher.
After a tug-of-war with his conscience, Brian decided to turn the wallet into police.
“It makes me feel good, having done the right thing,” said Christopher.
A receipt inside the wallet had a phone number on it, so police gave it a call and tracked down the owner - 22-year-old Meghan Schultz of Cambridge..
“I really respect what he did. I’m glad to know there’s someone out here that would do something like that. I’d like to think that if I found a wallet full of cash with no I.D. I would bring it to the police,” said Schultz.
Christopher’s story has touched so many people who’ve heard it that he’s now getting donations for his goodwill.
“I don’t have a lot of money, but wanted to thank you for your good deed. God bless you… Dan R,” was one note Christopher received.
“I’m glad I made the decision that I made,” said Christopher.
Schultz said she would like to take Christopher out to lunch as a thank you. Christopher said he’d go but insists on picking up the tab.
