Man buys ‘uncomfortable’ ottoman from thrift store for $70 – makes jaw-dropping discovery inside cushion
Kirby contacted the store, and shortly after, they gave him information of the person who owned the couch and the ottoman he bought.
The rightful owner turned out to be Kim Newberry who offered to repay Kirby for his good deed and repair the roof of his house, but Kirby kindly declined the offer as Habitat for Humanity and a local builder had already made plans to give Kirby a new roof in return for his generosity.
“I don’t know how to say it, I’m blessed,” Kirby told M Live. “I’m blessed beyond words.”
Once the story spread around, people close to Kirby started a GoFundMe which helped raise $15,000 for this incredible man.
“I’m blessed beyond words,” Kirby said. “I have had so much peace, so much joy because I did do it, that $43,000 never could buy that much joy or peace or happiness.”
It is because of people like Howard Kirby that our faith in humanity is restored.
