Prince Of Peace Student Finds $900, Returns It To Owner

HOOVER, AL — Anyone who thinks good deeds are tough to come by these days may think again after hearing about 10-year-old Foster Dudley. A fourth-grade student at Prince of Peace Catholic School, Dudley recently found $900 in cash while shopping at Target in The Grove shopping center in Hoover.

Dudley first asked his mother, Parisa Dudley, if they could keep the money, and she reportedly told him to put himself in the shoes of the person who lost it.

"She asked him how he would feel if he lost that much money, and he quickly replied, 'Mom, we have to find her and give it back,'" said Jill Spero, an administrator with Prince of Peace Catholic School.

Foster and his parents then approached the store manager, Jeremy Walker, and asked for his help.

"Walker contacted Hoover police, who were able to locate the person who lost the money because of the credit union receipt that was found with the money," Spero said.

Two days after Foster found the money, he and his family were back at Target to meet Verdina Bell, the woman who had lost the envelope that contained the cash.

For his good deed, Foster received a reward of a $100 Target gift card.
