Hawaii is well-known for its beautiful beaches and sparkling water, but the islands got just a bit lovelier thanks to the honesty of 11-year-old Mikela Mercier.
Mikela found the ultimate bargain in the unlikeliest place while shopping with her mom at a Salvation Army on the Big Island of Hawaii. The athletic youngster picked up a copy of a Richard Simmons workout videotape, opened the case and discovered, wedged in with 'Sweatin' to the Oldies,' $1,000 in $100 bills.
Mikela showed her mother the cash and said they needed to notify the store. The proud mom said her daughter knew the money rightfully belonged to the Salvation Army and that it would go to help those in need. Somewhere Richard Simmons is welling up.
