Howard Kirby went to a second-hand store to buy a used, hard and annoying chair, but the man decided to take it home since the price was affordable for him.
Kirby was at home when he decided to lie down on the couch, but it was so hard that, along with his daughter-in-law Diane, they opened one of his pillows to inspect its filling. However, They did not expect to find two envelopes that had 43 thousand dollars inside.
Immediately, The 65-year-old felt it was wrong to keep that fortune. So, he turned to a lawyer who told him that he had no legal right to return it and that he might keep the money even if someone claimed it. But Kirby didn’t want that.
The hard and sad story of Howard Kirby
Howard decided to do the right thing, even though he wasn’t going through a good time emotionally. He had been divorced, had to have an operation to remove a kidney, lost his cousin to cancer and his economic situation was not good since his son Ben had lost his job, so he had to move home with his wife and sons.
“He might use it, he has needs, but he said he felt a pull from God saying, ‘This isn’t yours,'” said store manager Rick Merling.
a man of faith
“The Holy Spirit just came upon me and said, ‘No, that’s not really yours,’” he said with conviction on ABC. The man kept the money in a box and decided to contact the store where he bought the armchair and following an arduous investigation they found the owners of the sofa.
It was the grandson of the original owner of the sofa named Kim Fauth-Newberry who received a call from Kirby inviting him to meet at the store. “I think they were hoping there would be some photographs. “They would never have dreamed it was money,” Howard said.
Kim was shocked since he did not know that the chair had such an amount of dollars and that he gave it to the store for charity following his grandfather died.
“Everything you give, comes back”
One person decided to raise funds on GoFundMe to donate money to Kirby and his family. But this is not all. A construction company donated materials for a worker to fix the roof of his house. Without a doubt Hogwarts Kirby is the most beloved neighbor in his neighborhood.
