Few people would go out of their way to return a stranger’s belongings. Fortunately, Delivontae Johnson was a one-of-a-kind youngster, and when he picked up a woman’s wallet, he didn’t think about keeping it or turning a blind eye.
Rather, he unlocked the clasp and searched for identification. He discovered Dee Harkrider’s information inside and began his mission to deliver it to her. It was the start of an extraordinary adventure.
Johnson could have returned the wallet to the Walmart assistance desk, instead he elected to take matters into his own hands. He was changing a tire in the pharmacy parking zone at Walmart and stated, he wasn’t meant to be parking in that location, but thank God he was.
The adolescent desired to assist the wallet owner and sacrificed his time to drive to Harkrider’s residence in Wynne. She was, however, in Palestine for the day.
Elaine, one of the woman’s acquaintances, was contacted by the child, who then called Harkrider. Elaine questioned whether she knew Johnson, and the two concluded he was a stranger attempting to retrieve the stolen wallet.
Harkrider elaborated that Johnson was on his way to Wynne when he decided to travel to Palestine and present it to her. So he went out of his way to meet her and return her wallet.
Harkrider was astounded and impressed by the teen’s desire to go long distances for her sake. When they met in the parking lot of a restaurant, she praised him enthusiastically. She also hugged and asked for a selfie with the 19-year-old.
Johnson’s acts left Harkrider stunned, and she wished to express her feelings with the rest of the world. She felt everybody deserves to hear some good news, and she couldn’t wait to tell her pals about the unexpected act of generosity she witnessed. She wrote in her post:
Thank you does not beginning to express her feelings for this young man whom she only met today!! A buddy told me she was fortunate. She assured her no, that God was keeping an eye on her. Delivontae Johnson, she prays that God blesses him abundantly!! She has made a new friend!
Thank you does not come even close to the gratitude I feel for this young man whom I met only today!! I was at Walmart…

Harkrider offered her new buddy $20 to show her appreciation and wished she could have repaid the gesture more generously. Johnson, on the other hand, was pleased to have assisted the woman and informed her that the money was more than he had anticipated.
Johnson, a college student, was grateful for the $20, which he claimed would go toward gas money. His mom was overjoyed to hear of the encounter, and Johnson went on to say that she complimented him on his work. He is thankful to her for raising her to be the guy he is today.
Johnson’s mother undoubtedly instilled in her son principles and ideals. His willingness to assist people without asking anything in return is noble and uplifting.
The youngster and Harkrider became Facebook friends and planned to keep in touch. The woman quipped that Johnson was “stuck with [her] now” after lavishing him with adulation. She also stated God kept an eye on her. He introduced her to this angel. God throws individuals into each other’s lives for a purpose.
Netizens were enthralled by Johnson and Harkrider’s narrative, and many complimented them for making them smile. The adolescent was likewise praised and wished well by the internet community.
It’s dreadful to lose something, and individuals seldom locate their possessions when they go missing in public places. Harkrider might not have discovered her wallet if it hadn’t been for the compassion of a stranger.
Johnson’s actions may appear basic, yet minor details may make a big effect. Congratulations, selfless youth!
