She Didn't Trust Him At First... Then She Saw THIS. 🥺🙏 #heartwarming #gooddeeds

This is 18-year-old Tyler Opdyke and homeowner Melissa Vang of Elk Grove/Sacramento, California.
Tyler Opdyke was going door-to-door putting out flyers for his uncle's pest control business when he found a wallet in the driveway of Melissa Vang's home, stuffed with cash and credit cards. Melissa's husband had dropped it on his way to his car — it held $1,500 meant for a shopping trip. Tyler's first instinct was human enough — "Awesome, cash!" he later admitted to the Sacramento Bee — but it didn't last. "It was not a hard decision because this could be somebody's rent money and wasn't mine to keep," he said. He walked up to the house and held the wallet up to the security camera so Melissa could see the money was all still there, then left it by the door. But Melissa didn't open the door to a stranger, and it took her a few moments to realize the young man on her porch was trying to do the right thing. Tyler came back later to check if the wallet had been picked up — and that's when Melissa and her two daughters came out, and they hugged. "It's sad that I didn't trust him to open my door when he was just doing a good deed," Melissa later wrote online. "God bless this young man's heart." She posted the surveillance footage on Facebook, where it went viral, and Tyler was later given a $150 reward.
