Good Samaritan’s incredible gesture to grieving Sydney widow trying to pay off husband's tombstone
A Good Samaritan's honesty and some amateur detective work have made a grieving widow's day after she accidentally left her bag containing thousands of dollars behind on a train.
Sydney pensioner En Huynh had withdrawn more than $6000 of her savings to pay off the money she owed for her late husband's tombstone.
In a moment of confusion, she left her bag on the train, along with the wad of cash.
She had been saving her pension for a year to pay off her husband's tombstone.
She was so distressed when she lost her bag on Monday morning, her son Gilbert took the day off work to console her.
"She was all over the shop, she was very distressed, she couldn’t even talk properly, she was sweating, not in a good state,” Mr Huynh told 7 News.
Lucky for her, Adem Gashi picked up the bag and made it his mission to return it but it wasn’t until he took it home that he realised it was so important.
After finding an address inside, Seven News captured the moment he returned the bag to an overjoyed Mrs Huynh.
Overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude, the Parramatta local couldn’t thank Mr Gashi enough.
"We're just so blessed, my mum is over the moon to be able to pay off the balance of my dad's tombstone,” Mr Huynh added.
