An Alabama Uber driver, Esbon Kamau, is expected to have a remarkable 2024 after he returned $8,000 in cash that a teenager, Alex Tisdale, had accidentally left in his vehicle. Kamau, who has been driving for Uber intermittently for four years and is a father of five, formed a connection with Tisdale during the ride.
After Tisdale exited the vehicle to attend to his business, Kamau continued his work, picking up and dropping off other clients. Upon discovering an unfamiliar item in his car and realizing it was money, he instinctively recognized it belonged to Tisdale. Without hesitation, he reported the find through the Uber app. Meanwhile, Tisdale realized he had left his belongings in the vehicle and also reported it on the app. The system efficiently connected them again, allowing Kamau to return Tisdale’s intact belongings.
Tisdale was deeply impressed by Kamau’s honesty and kindness, ensuring that he left a generous tip for the driver. Reacting on the matter, Kamau stated, “When you do something good, it comes back tenfold.”
In our quest for daily sustenance, may we remember to be graciously kind, and treat others, same way we expect to be treated.
