24 Aug
Summary
- A US woman lost her debit card at an ATM in Kerala, India.
- A stranger undertook a 14-hour journey to return the lost card.
- The man politely refused any monetary compensation for his help.
In a heartwarming display of generosity, a stranger in Kerala, India, traveled for 14 hours to return a lost ATM card to a US woman. India Witkin, a New York-based producer, discovered she had left her debit card at an ATM in a beach town, five hours away from where she was.
Realizing her card was missing while in the capital city, Witkin was in a race against time as she had only 36 hours left in India. She contacted a DHL worker she knew, who then enlisted the help of friends.
Despite it being his day off, the DHL worker and two friends embarked on a six-hour autorickshaw ride to retrieve the card and deliver it to Witkin. The round trip spanned 14 hours.
When Witkin offered payment for his time and fuel, the man, named Krishna, politely declined, urging her to keep the money for her travels. This act deeply moved Witkin, who shared the story on Instagram, highlighting the compassion and hospitality prevalent in Kerala.
