Birthday Money

The Jewish tradition of ‘mitzvah’ includes doing good deeds without any personal reasons. Evelyn Topper has recently experienced a real-life mitzvah incident done by a complete stranger. The granddaughter of Topper rewarded the good deed by giving away her birthday money to him.

On 9th December 2020, Evelyn Topper had lost her wallet while she was buying a latte for herself and a boba tea for her granddaughter named Mikayla Gounard from Kamson Coffee. The CCTV footage of the coffee shop showed that Topper had slipped her wallet in the back pocket of her pants after she had paid for her drinks. However, it was noticed that Topper did not close the zip of her wallet. As a result, her wallet slipped out and fell down unnoticed by her.

Moreover, Topper did not realize that her wallet is missing till she returned home. Initially, she thoroughly checked her car and house. This is because she thought she must have dropped her wallet in the parking lot. Eventually, she realized that she left it in the coffee shop. After this, she immediately called the coffee shop and enquired about her wallet.

Her wallet contained very important documents and things. Accordingly, Topper panicked because she felt she lost her entire life. She stated that all her debit, credit, and medicare cards were in her wallet. She felt distraught as she lost everything she owns.
