Homeless Man Finds Check For $10,000 And Returns It

A Good Samaritan homeless man returns a check for $10,000 and it leads to the biggest blessing. In 2017, Elmer Alvarez was homeless and living on the streets. Then, one day, he happened to find a check lying on the sidewalk. When Elmer realized that the check was for such a large amount, he knew he needed to find the owner.

“The first thing that came to my mind is ‘I gotta look for this person,’” Elmer said. So he tracked down Roberta Hoskie, a real estate broker in the area. Roberta didn’t even realize that she had lost the check but she was eager to meet the kind stranger who found it. When she met up with Elmer, he was not at all what she expected and when Roberta heard his story, she knew she wanted to help. This amazing woman helped Elmer find an apartment and she paid his rent for seven months until he got on his feet. She also helped put him through real estate school.

Now, these two have plans to open a transitional home for other homeless people as they work to build a new life. Before Roberta started her multi-million dollar business, she was just a single mom without a home. So, she knows exactly what it feels like to be homeless.

Together, Roberta and Elmer are using their own experiences to make sure that no one else has to continue down that path. “I know what it is to be homeless. Nobody deserves to live like that,” Elmer remarked. God definitely brought these two together for a reason and it’s an absolute blessing to watch their story unfold.
