One Ponoka lady was lucky to have some good Samaritans on her side last week.

When Lester Nepoose and his daughter, Carmel, found a wallet full of cash near McDonalds, they immediately took it to the police station after seeing it was full of money and identification.

Lester says when he found the wallet, he wanted to ensure he honoured the recent passing of his brother. He suggested this was an opportunity to do some good.

His daughter returned the wallet to the RCMP detachment and a few days later they received a call on the Montana Reserve that the lady wanted to thank them for their efforts.

After meet and greet last week, the three took a moment to capture a photo for posterity.
