Unemployed Akkaisha Green owed friends and family a lot of money trying to pay for her two sons’ education. One day, when she went to an ATM to withdraw a government benefit, she saw a bag filled to the brim with $5,000 and $1,000 banknotes. It was a great chance to improve life and get out of the debt hole.
This money would undoubtedly change her life, but Akkaisha decided that she needed to return the money to the bank. Employees of the financial institution at first did not believe in the good intentions of the girl, and were amazed that she was so honest.
After returning the money, Akkaisha forgot about this event until a few weeks later she received a call from the bank. The management decided to reward the woman for her deed and paid her a financial gratitude of 1,200,000 Jamaican dollars, which is equivalent to 9,226 US dollars.
$1 million was for Akkaishi’s sons’ education and debt, $100,000 for a new refrigerator and other appliances, and the rest for food stamps.
Now a resident of Jamaica does not need to think about how to feed her children and make ends meet. Akkaisha is not only happy that her children will get an education, but she herself is thinking about returning to school to get a certificate, which she could not get in her time.
