A Feel Good Friday surprise for an airport employee who found a wallet and tracked down the owner

#eastidahonews #feelgoodfriday #kindness

We recently received the following email about a passenger at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport who left their wallet behind. It said:

I dropped my wallet in the Idaho Falls airport on the way to San Antonio for work. Katherine, an airport employee, called my co-worker, who had bought the tickets, to let him know that they had my wallet. Katherine let me know what I needed to do to get my wallet sent via Fed Ex overnight. After I could not figure out how to get the overnight scheduled from Fed Ex, Katherine offered to go to Fed Ex and send it. She even said she would pay for it and I could pay her back when I got back to Idaho Falls. I had money in my wallet, and I knew I could trust her to just use that money. She was so kind and professional while I was freaking out about not having my wallet. As soon as she texted me the receipt that it was sent, I was able to relax. She made a very stressful situation so much better. I hear this is just the kind of person she is – helping people out all of the time.

We decided to visit the airport and thank Katherine for her kindness. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

Greetings from Lady Lake, Florida! Being a former Flight Attendant, I'm amazed and proud of the airline employee who was so honest and helpful! God Love her, I'm so glad to see this "Feel Good Friday"!

She’s a wonderful person. So honest and kind. Losing a wallet is traumatic. Never got mine back.

“Because that’s what we do” what a great story!!!! And an amazing woman!

[jacquicoder]

It's a shame that honesty is seen as a rare thing these days. I don't know tthat it is so rare but the news we hear most days makes it seem that way. God bless this woman and the person who actually found the wallet and gave it to her. If that person hadn't been honest, that wallet would not have been returned to its owner.

Wow, that is someone I would want to find my lost wallet! What a beautiful person! We love you Nate!

Thank you Catherine! We need more people in this world such as yourself that hold such positive values! Thank you Nate, the East Idaho Team, and of course Ashley Furniture for sharing a story that is very uncommon to hear about in this world we live today! 👍😁👏⭐️🏆

Shout to whoever originally found the wallet and did the RIGHT thing! As well as this wonderful airport lady that made sure by going the extra mile to be sure it got back to the owner.

How. Sweet. Some. Pepole. Are. So. So. Nice

Man, she's lucky. My passport was stolen by my mail carrier.

▶️ Because she's an empath. She treats others the way she would like to be treated.

I have family in Idaho Falls so have been to that airport a number of times when I visit. It’s such a nice little airport compared to the ones where I live and the employees are all very nice.

[loveforeignaccents]

She seems fun. I like her braces, too.

1:50 She said that she wasn't the person who found it, that it was found by someone and given to her. It is nice, though, that she went the extra mile to Fedex it to the owner.
