This is the story of Gerrell McAllister, a 28-year-old cashier, who has received a nice sum of money a beautiful morning from a foreigner. Who can it be well? And why did they send Money Gerrell? What could they possibly want from an ordinary man like him?

One of these mornings

It was a sunny morning in Takoma, Washington. Gerrell was awake in bed, just minutes from his alarm. He did not sleep a lot last night, but again, it was in this way for months now. After the event that turned his life upside down, it was difficult to sleep. Losing a mother would do this to anyone. His thoughts guarded him awaken most nights. But alarm clock was not a pleasure either. How can you awake when reality is worse than your dreams?

Lose a mother

Gerrell lost his mother to a pulmonary embolism of December. Everything happened so fast; A minute, they detected a blood clot in his lungs, the next minute they gave them bad news. Life had just not been the same after that. As a younger child, Gerrell was every close to his mother. He took the particularly difficult loss.

Support system

It was not all bad for Gerrell, he had a family. An older brother, a charming woman and a beautiful 5 year old girl. They kept it strong, kept it to go. The days he wanted to collapse and collapse, they kept him tight. When he wanted to give up, he mainly focused on taking his daughter. She was the light of her life.

Financial struggle

The McAllister family was in a tight position for a while. Gerrell has been working at the store for nearly 12 hours every day simply to recover additional species. He had to put his daughter through the school and did not want, even for a second, because it is not planned. He wanted her to have everything she ever wanted, which was a bit of a challenge for a little while, but they all do their best.

Time to work

The alarm went off on her night table. The sunlight rises through the blinds of its windows. Gerrell rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. It was time to go out and cope with the world. He got up in his bed, his legs herbs beside. He looked at the clock, 7:01. It's time to get to work.

The shop

Gerrell was a cashier in a natural pet food store. The keys jedled in his hands as he smalled a way through the parking lot at the entrance of the store. He was usually the first to enter and the last to leave so that the owner had given him his own key set.

Ordinary

Gerrell Grigotate the morning snack his wife had packed it for him. Today, it was Apple and his favorite P & J sandwiches. His usual days at work included billing, cash, manipulation of receipts and answer the phone. He has always been good with numbers so that this job was not a task when it was the nature of his work.

Long hours of work

Gerrell had to pass the maximum part of his day at the store. At the moment when he arrived at home, everyone would already be asleep. A few months ago, he could have complained about long hours of work but not now. He liked his work held him busy. Because at least in this way, his mind is not allowed to think about the loss he was taking away.

The unknown transaction

Gerrell heard his phone go out in his pocket. To check it, he saw his moneypal money transfer. A frown of eyebrows developed on his face. Who would send money? When opening his account, Gerrell was swept away from what he saw. Someone had credited $ 1200 on his account!

Who can it be well?

Gerrell immediately turned off his phone and pushed him into his pocket. He did not want his eyes to hide on his screen. $ 1200 was a lot of money, he did not even win at the store. Who could have sent so much money?

Reminder of the faces

Gerrell tried to imagine a face in his mind when he thought who could he be. He knew he had money to many people. He had borrowed money from some friends and even had a loan he had to pay, but he could not remember to lend money to anyone. Was it someone his wife his wife? He decided to know it.

Calling home

Gerrell has released his phone from his pocket and has composed at home. His wife picked up on the third ring. He told him about the weird event that took place this morning. The reaction of his wife reflected his. Gerrell asked him if she knows who it could be? If they owed money to anyone or if she asked someone from someone? His wife was also helpless he felt. She told him that she will ask around him and return it.

Still no word

Gerrell waited for his wife's call in the hope that she will have answers. Meanwhile, he continued to pick his brain to get an idea of ​​who could be. Was it someone that his mother knows? But that can not be the case, his mother did not have many friends and if she had a kind of money she would have told her or her brother.

The phone call

Gerrell's phone started ringing in his pocket. It was his wife. He has responded to the phone. To his disappointment, she has not discovered anything. They had not lent any money. Gerrell was even more confused and overwhelmed than ever. He did not know who to ask or what to do.

The idea

Gerrell realized that he was so surprised to see the message that said "you have money" that notes that the amount alone had made it close the screen and ignite his phone. Maybe the message itself could reveal where the money comes from. Maybe it's a lost people for a long time that gave him fortune.

The mail

Gerrell took out his phone and I went to check the mail he received from Paypal. He has always had trouble using his email application. The words were too tiny to read by his impaired view and it seemed too crowded. He managed to find the mail, his pleated eyes to read a name that did not belong to him, A. Trusler.

Find man

Gerrell put his side phone. A. Trusler was not a name he had heard before. And what is a stand? Alex? Adam? Was it someone from his old place of work? Gerrell closed his eyes and tried to remember if he knew anyone of that name. He also called his wife thinking that she may know someone with this name. But alas, no index. Gerrell could feel that his head begins to hurt this point.

Social Media Search

Gerrell thought of the idea of ​​a single idea that every millennium thinks when they have to look for something; the Internet. He decided that he will seek this name on different platforms of social media and find that person. Things could only go two ways, or he will recognize the person, or he will not do it. If he did not recognize him, he could contact him and ask why they sent him money.

Bad luck

Finding a person on social media was not as easy as this one, at least not for Gerrell. He went on different platforms and wanted A. Trusler but his disappointment, he could not find prospects. He did not plan to quit smoking however because he had not yet checked Facebook.

Find Alan

To his relief, there was not much a. Trusler on Facebook. Gerrell could find a man named Alan Trusler who lived in Colville, Washington. It was an old man, perhaps at the end of the 50s. One thing was sure, Gerrell did not know the whole man. And he could not in any case be associated with the McAllister family. Gerell was about to contact him when he saw a Facebook position he added less than 10 hours ago.

Facebook position

The message was on his daughter, Melissa Trusler, who just came back 30. He wanted his love and happiness. Gerrell's eyes ran through these words, his brain started clicking. He remembered that there was an attachment to the mail. Things started to make sense suddenly, he quickly went to see his Paypal mail again, this time knowing what to look for.

Birthday present

Gerrell read the message appeared on his screen. It was a birthday message of a father to his daughter. "Happy Birthday Melissa! I know how much you want this couch for your home, so here's a little something for you. Enjoy your day, my love! Love, Dad" Things are entered in the perspective for Gerrell immediately. Melissa's father accidentally sent him the money he was supposed to offer his daughter.

Mr. Trusler's mistake

About 300 miles northeast of Takoma, Alan Trusler was cursing to do something so incredibly stupid. Melissa, her daughter, was going to be 30 years old. He wanted to buy something she would like but 29 birthdays later, he was quite ideas. He remembered her talking about this couch she really wanted for her place in Seattle and then clicked on it. He could send him the money she needed for the sofa and this way she could get what she wanted.

Meet Melissa

Melissa Trusler turned 30 in a few weeks. A new resident of Seattle, Melissa had been busy for a few weeks of the decoration of his new apartment. After losing his brother 5 months ago, Melissa could not stay in the same house. So she decided to move and start a new life.

Decoration of the apartment

Melissa had her eyes on this beautiful sofa she saw with the pottery of pottery. She knew it will complete the eyes of her living room. Even if it was a bit expensive, she knew she wanted this sofa for her place and nothing else would be enough. However, the purchase of this sofa had the impression of burning a hole in its pocket. Little knew she knew her father was doing something for her too.

Accidental transaction

Alan used her paypal account to send $ 1200 to her daughter, so he thought. To send his money, he needed to enter his number. What he did not realize was that he put it in his former number, which now belonged to Gerrell. This resulted in the money transfer from Alan Account to Gerrell's, no Melissa. Alan called his daughter and explained what had happened.

Not full of hope

Alan and Mellisa were not hope that they will have heard about this guy. Alan had already prepared me mentally that money is gone. $ 1200 was not a small amount and who in their good spirits would come back that kind of money if they cross it. Mellisa has always insisted on her father call this person and talk to her once.

Honest man

Gerrell always watched his phone, astonished by the fact that something like that could happen to him. He knew he would return the money, there was no doubt about it. His mother taught him to always do the right thing even if no one looks, she taught him integrity. If she was alive now, he knew what she would like to do it. So he did the same thing.

An unexpected occurrence

Because of Melissa's request, Alan has decided to contact that person who owned his former number as well as his money. To his surprise, when he picked up his phone, he found a message showing that the money was returned to his account. And with that, there was a message from Gerrell.

The message

The Alan screen read: "return money hurts, but it's the right thing to do. Tell him that I said happy birthday! I will try to solve the problem on my end so that it does not happen again. Take care. "Alan could not believe that people like Gerrell exist in this world. It was such a happy surprise. He called Melissa and told him everything. Melissa was deeply touched by the honesty of Gerrell and A decided to thank him personally.

Thank you note

Gerrell was busy for the rest of the day. He tried not to think of what has just happened. He did not regret it, of course, it was the right thing to do after all. It does not matter what difference that this money would do in his life, it was not his to keep. Gerrell heard his phone go out in his pocket, he took it and read the message on the screen. It was a thank you note of Melissa, Alan daughter. A small smile went to his lips.

A memory

Melissa thanked him for his honesty and explained how his father still fights with technology. In this statement, Gerrell recalled how a few months ago, he received $ 55 from an account. He returned that too but so far he did not realize it was the same person. It was Alan Trusler. Gerrell was slightly amused by this coincidence.

The answer

Gerrell started typing: "You are very welcome! But if you could tell your family and your friends as a low-income black Tacoma man with a 5-year-old girl made your money, I would find that the Improving the improvement of race relationships while reaffirming the amazing culture that we have worked as Western Washingtonians so difficult to cultivate. And that, in turn, would help me to help me kick in the ass to stay morally insensitive through the difficult moments of my family and that I feel for the moment. In short, share the story, spread love. Thank you. "

No explanation

Gerrell did not know where these words came or why he started tapping or why he entrusted a stranger. He did not have any answers to any of these questions. But all he knew is that it felt good, returns the money and receive the friendly message of Melissa. For a second, he thought of any breakage, but he felt like these words had to be heard so he supported send.

Go home

The Sun had been fixed four hours ago, Gerrell was on his last bits of functions. He locked the store and went to the parking lot. He led to the house in silence, his always chaotic spirit with the events of that day. When he reached his house, everyone was already asleep. He went to his room and lied awake in bed for the many hours.

The next morning

It was a Sunday morning, which did not mean any work. Gerrell was in bed, asleep, for a change. He woke up at his phone's sound, not his alarm. His phone came out for several minutes again and again. He narrowed his eyes, wondering who sent him a text so early in the morning. Gerrell's eyes expanded as he recorded what was on his screen. Its telephone screen was cluttered with paypal notifications.

Share the story

When Melissa received the message from Gerrell, she felt that her words had to be heard. So she decided to post on her facebook and reddit. Shortly after Melissa shared this story, people started flooding with comments, renting Gerrell for his sincerity. It was important to manteller that his story would break some of these racial stereotypes and it seemed as if it worked.

Gratifying honesty

When people came to know the Gerrell crossed a financial situation financially, they were even more affected by the fact that he has made money. As a result, people started to ask Melissa for his information from PayPal. They wanted to help him. Melissa was more than happy to share the information. She was pleased that people took this initiative.

Unlimited love

It took him a moment to realize what's going on. Gerrell had received endless donations with loving messages of people he did not know about Paypal. His mind was cluttered with so many questions. He guessed that Melissa shared his story because each message applauded him or thanks him for his money. Gerrell was overwhelmed by the love he received from all these people.

Humble man

Gerrell has never felt the need to check the amount given to it, he cared for the messages that are attached to it. He liked to read and planned to answer each of them individually. He does not want money will eclipse the feelings behind her. He never imagined that making a decision could change the faces so quickly. He felt grateful for the kindness that people are still sharing in this world.

Non Stop messages

Hot and sincere messages from foreigners have become part of Gerrell's day now. He could not believe how therapeutic felt. It's amazing how far a little kind can go. Gerrell responded to each message individually. He even engaged in a conversation with some of them. Talking to a strange strangely comforting felt.

Dear beings missing

Gerrell and Melissa were not aware of something they had both in common; Losing a loved one. Gerrell lost his mother and Melissa lost his brother about five months ago. Gerrell's eldest brother decided to contact Mellissa when he saw his post a photo of herself and his brother on Facebook saying, "It's been more than 5 months since you left. I celebrate my 30th anniversary a week from tomorrow. I wish you can be here to see it, my brother ... "

Contact Melissa

Gerrell's eldest brother sent him on Facebook, thanking her for losing the light on Gerrell's actions and how their mother would proud of him and the way he is even more proud of himself . He said that Gerrell is an incredible father of his niece and an incredible guy in general. He thanked her for all she had done for him and wished her.

Shared experiences

When Gerrell learned to know the brother of Mellisa, he was confused. He was silent for a moment, with a total loss of words. It has been amazed by the way these shared experiences prove how much our communities can be connected. He was mourning for his mother, she was mourning for her brother and his destiny created this link between them outside the blue. They had never met but they were both grateful for what they had done for each other.

Respect everyone

Alan and Gerrell have never met in person or even spoke on the phone, but they both felt that this experience was important to share a day and age when the titles tend to look towards negativity. They were both foreigners but they treated with the greatest respect for no reason that their mutual belief to treat everyone kindly.

Spread

Now that his story is everywhere on social media, Gerrell hoped that this will inspire people to engage with someone who they come into contact. We never know what people treat in their personal lives. He believes that a nice word is fine and wants people to be inspired to expand love.

Model

Gerrell had always been assured of teaching his daughter the good thing. So he decided to tell him this story too. He wanted to see his reaction. As he predicted that his eyes light up when she heard the whole story. She was happy that her father is as attentive as she because she cared for everybody and everything. His parents taught them well.

Teaching to take care

Gerrell was so proud of his daughter when she quickly summarizes the reason behind her story to her. She said, "You call me to worry about other people". He was almost torn. His little girl was smarter and sensitive that there was supposed.

Mcallister Family

Gerrell's integrity was an ovineuse for everyone. He was a man who has trouble getting money, but he knew what the right thing is and he followed. Its values ​​are so rare to find. It only shows that he has been learned well and he does the same for his daughter, who could not be more proud of his father.

Money vs no money

Money is an unusual thing. People talk about all kinds of opinions about it. They talk about ways to become rich, what people should do with their money, what responsibility do wealthy people have rich because they have money, the silver spoon VS worked from the bottom, etc. . What no one speaks is the way money should not be given the power to define a person. A person should only be defined by his morality and his actions.

State of mind

If an individual feels rich or poor, depends on his mind. You can have $ 10 in your bank and always feel the richest person in the world. This is the way your mind builds the idea of ​​being rich. If a person is grateful for the little things of life, it is already rich. While even if you have all the money in the world, but no sense of life, you will always be poor.

Contrast in life

Nevertheless, money can transform someone's life. Unfortunately, this has this kind of power over us. Melissa was able to afford a $ 1200 sofa while Gerrell would last and his family per month of expenses. But what matters, in the long run, these are the values ​​you carry and not the numbers of your bank account. And both, Truslers and Mcallisters share the values ​​they live.

Honesty is worth it

By remaining honest, Gerrell has proven that no matter the circumstances, honesty is worth it. By returning to these $ 1200, he ended up making room more with Melissa's help. If he did not return the money, Melissa would not have shared the story, people would not have been affected by his integrity and no donation would have been made.

Faith in restored humanity

Having faith in humanity means trusting people to do the right thing, to believe that the chaos of this universe will eventually be solved. People like Gerrell define such examples for everyone. To make us believe in good. It is not so difficult to worry about others, not hurting them to find innumerable cases where this is not the case. But if there is dark, there is also a light, which we can take from that.
