Facebook to the rescue as Xmas list and cash returned

- BY MARK O’BRIEN

A WOMAN has saved Christmas for a mother whose daughter is seriously ill in hospital.

Emma Tutty found a large amount of money and a Santa list in Dublin’s Blanchards­town on Friday.

Her Facebook message pleading to find the owner of the missing items went viral overnight.

In the post she wrote: “Large amount of money was found in Blanchards­town, with a kids toy list, please please help get this back to the right full owner.”

It has now emerged the owner has been located.

A woman from Waterford who was visiting her ill daughter in hospital, had lost the cash.

Emma wrote: “Someone has come forward for their money... she was on her way to see her daughter who’s in a coma in St James’s Hospital.

“She stopped off in Blanch village to take the money out, but obviously she dropped it, but she actually thought she was mugged in town as she thought she felt someone at her bag.

“So happy she got it back and thanks to everyone that has shared the status xx.”
