‘Angels’ make day after fall in parking lot random acts of kindness
Hoping others will hear of this good deed
On July 2, I drove my wife to UPMC Shadyside hospital. As we all well know, hospitals require everyone to wear a mask. I have a hearing aid and glasses.
When I arrived home and noticed my hearing aid was gone, I assumed the hearing aid came out when I removed my mask when I entered my car in the parking garage.
I called hospital security and reported it. I called again the next day, and lo and behold, the hearing aid was turned in.
I surely hope the person who found it reads this and knows I’m overjoyed to have my hearing aid back. Kudos to that person. JOHN ERARIO

Extra effort lauded for credit card return
I am so grateful to the person who found my credit card and turned it in to the security desk at UPMC St. Margaret hospital on June 19.
After my doctor’s appointment, I was paying my parking ticket when I mistakenly put my credit card in the slot where my money would go. What a sinking feeling.
I went to the service desk, and they dispatched someone to my aid very quickly. After discovering that the card was not in the machine, the security guard checked the items he brought with him and — there was my credit card. The machine had spit out my parking ticket, which I retrieved from the ground, and my credit card as well,
My utmost thanks to the person who found and turned in my card, as well as to the prompt and kind help from the security desk and security guard.

Verona I’m a senior citizen, and my plan was to have lunch at Panera in McMurray. But when I got out of my car in the parking lot, I fell on the concrete and injured my left side. I did not notice anyone in the parking lot when I pulled in, but after I fell there were four wonderful angels immediately at my side offering help.
My arm and leg were bleeding, and I could not get up without their help. I am OK now, but I will never forget their kindness and the looks on their faces.
They really cared and did not leave me until they were sure I was OK.
My thanks to these wonderful people.
