An
elderly Illinois man accidentally gave away his entire life savings
when making a clothing donation to his local Goodwill. The 80-year-old
man, who didn’t trust banks, kept his life savings of $13,000 sewn
inside the lining of one of his suits. He is currently appealing for the
money’s return so that he can care for his wife, who has Stage 4
cancer. A Goodwill spokeswoman said the charity has searched the Moline
store where the man made his donation but could not find the suit in
question. Goodwill employees are also searching through bins of donated
clothes transported from the Moline facility to a regional warehouse in
Iowa City. The man’s daughter, who says he is remaining anonymous
because he is “devastated and embarrassed” by the story, is offering a
$1,000 reward for the suit’s new owner to return the cash.
