Daisy Owen lost her purse during a night out with friends several years ago.She had all but given up on getting it back.

Paul Calderbank is homeless,but when he came across a lost purse,he didn't take any of the cash,though he really needed it.Then Paul began looking for clues: Who owned the purse,and more importantly,how could he get it back to her?

He began walking the streets asking if anyone had misplaced a purse.But he had to be careful.He'd feel just as bad if someone claiming to own it took the purse from him wrongfully.So he wrote a note explaining his intentions.“Did not want to tell anyone in town because they would have tried to cheat me saying it's one of their friends',”he wrote.“I want to locate the true owner and personally hand all her belongings back to her,”the note continued.“Because to me it feels so good to do the right thing.”

Paul was somehow able to find Daisy's home address and was making the long walk to find her when he came across one of her friends.The friend contacted Daisy.“This man has found my bag and spent two days walking around asking and trying to find me,and was just on his way to my home address to try and return my bag to me personally!”she wrote.In an effort to pay him back,Daisy set up a GoFundMe page and is working toward getting him enough money to put a deposit (订金) on an apartment.
