As we always post here at Só Notícia Boa, doing good always brings good back into our lives. And that’s exactly what happened to 40yearold Estrella Yedra. Unemployed, she found lost money, returned it to the owner and as a reward, won a job and 500 euros more than 2,600 reais in an open crowdfunding on the internet.
The housewife remembers that she found 500 euros and the amount would change the life of her family, who are going through countless difficulties. However, she preferred the honesty of returning the money and has no regrets.
Estrella’s life went viral in Madrid, Spain and inspired many people! Now she says she is happy and with a peaceful heart because she did the right thing.
Honesty is priceless
Estrella found the 500 euros in a park. She says she was walking around with her son when she saw the package of money.
Not knowing what to do, the mother took the money to the local police station and turned it over to the police. Days later, the owner of the amount appeared. It was an 84yearold lady who dropped her purse.
financial difficulties
Unemployed, Estrella said the amount found would solve many family problems.
She lives with her husband, who also works, and their fouryearold disabled son in one of the poorest areas of the city.
When she told some people close to her that she had found the money, many asked her if they could return it.
“A lot of people asked me why I returned it,” said the Spaniard. “It’s more than I have, but it’s not mine,” he explained.
Estrella also said she remembered many things about the example she would set for her son, who is just 4 years old and hopes to have a “superhero” mother.

Reward
Estrella’s gesture sparked a campaign on Twitter to find jobs for her and her husband.
Another mobilization that brought the housewife a nice reward was launched by pianist James Rhodes, who collected the same 500 euros to give to her as a reward for the good deed.
Last week, a multiservice company found out about Estrella’s case and invited her for an interview. It worked!
Now she goes to work supporting the elderly in Madrid and said she is very excited and happy for the new opportunity!
I wish you the best of luck, Estrella!
