If you have ever had the feeling that the world is out to get you and you're down on your luck read a story like this. A Miami Marlins fan lost his wallet attending a game only to have it returned with a little extra.
17-year-old Cristhian Reyes lost his wallet attending a Marlin game, but instead of never seeing the lost item again his wallet was turned into his high school by a stranger just looking to spread some good will.

Not only did the stranger go out of his or her way to return the wallet to Reyes, but they included a hand written note and $20 of their own money. The note in it’s entirety read:
“I found this at the game last night and would like to make sure you got it back. I added $20 to it so you know the world is a great place. Do me a favor and when you get the chance, do something nice for someone else.”
This story sounds almost too good to be true, but it was in fact a true story of one person’s good intentions with a message to simply pay it forward. The high school contacted the Marlins to tell them the story and that one of their fans went above and beyond the call of duty to spread good will. Vice President of The Marlins Foundation, Alfredo Mesa, released a statement.
“Now you have a student, inspired by an anonymous person who wanted to do a good deed, and I’m certain this student will continue to pay it forward.”
Reyes also spoke about the kind deed and, other than being overwelmed to have his wallet returned to him, was eager to pay the deed forward.
“I just want to thank him for giving me back my wallet. Whenever I can, I’ll return that favor that they asked for.”
Moral of the story is there are good people out there and with simple acts of kindness you could make someones day. Faith restored in humanity for another day.
