A young man finds a wallet with documents and cards on the street in Santiago de Cuba and looks for a way to return it.

The young man does not ask the owner for money to give him his wallet, only to carry an ID with a photo and name that matches the documents, to avoid giving them to someone else.

A young resident of Santiago de Cuba found a wallet with documents and cards on the street this Monday and immediately looked for a way to return it to its owner, without expecting any reward in return.

The protagonist of such a commendable gesture contacted the independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, who shared on his Facebook wall a photo of an official document where the man's name appears.

"His name is Norge Luis Torres Ferrer and according to some documents in the file, he lives in the Asunción neighborhood of Santiago de Cuba," he revealed.

The discovery occurred in the vicinity of the 18-Story Buildings, on Victoriano Garzón Avenue.

To recover your wallet, no money is required; the owner only needs to bring an identification with a photo and name that matches the found documents, to prevent it from being handed over to someone else.

You can also call the number +53 52551106.

At the time of writing this note, it is not known if Torres Ferrer already has his wallet in his possession.

Meanwhile, the reporter's post has been filled with dozens of comments from people who praise the young man's honest attitude, whose identity has not been disclosed.

"There are still worthy people, may God bless that young man very much for making this great gesture," expressed a young woman.

"Hopefully there were millions of people like that, health and keep it up, just do good and don’t look at whom," said a matancera.

"Blessings, because to get some documents is like going to heaven," said a woman.

"Nice gesture, one that is not seen these days. Even if they don't have money, they prefer to throw away the documents or tear them up," lamented a lawyer.

In the midst of the economic and social crisis that Cuba is experiencing, it is truly encouraging to see that there are still honest and supportive people with attitudes like this.

Recently, a mother living in Santiago de Cuba found a cell phone that had been lost by its owners and posted a photograph on her Facebook wall to locate them and return it to them.

Mayelin Lores Carmenate requested that if anyone knew the young couple appearing in the background of her mobile wallpaper, they should contact her through her Facebook profile.

"We don't want anything, that's yours," Mayelin clarified, referring to the fact that she was not asking for any reward. "I return it because it isn't mine," she emphasized.

In January, a coachman in Cárdenas, Matanzas, was recognized on the Internet for returning a wallet to a passenger who had left it in the animal-drawn vehicle.

Yasmany Cuéllar, son of the owner of the wallet, acknowledged Jochi, the coachman, and stated that "he returned it with all its documents and the money," in an action that reflects that "there are still people with kind hearts."
