Bonnie Quann has never met Salmon Arm香蕉视频直播檚 Ellen Zilkie but she had no trouble recognizing her as a good person.

Quann, who lives in Penticton, read the Salmon Arm Observer story about Zilkie, who recently found $4,000 cash on the street and then immediately went about looking for its owner.

One of several jobs Zilkie has is keeping the streets of Salmon Arm clean for Downtown Salmon Arm through the Shuswap Association for Community Living (SACL). A SACL staff member went with her to try to find the money香蕉视频直播檚 rightful owner. Their first stop was the bank closest to where the cash was found. As it turned out, the owner had come in about 10 minutes earlier asking about the money. Zilkie left it with the bank who contacted the grateful owner. She said he later left a card of appreciation and a small reward for her.

, including more than 160 comments. Among all of the people appreciating her for her honesty were several commenters who said Zilkie, with a low income, should benefit monetarily from her actions. They said someone should start a GoFundMe account for her.
