Current events:Woman donated $26,000 to Salvation Army by mistake

An elderly Australian woman has lost $25,000 au (NZ$26,000) in cash after accidentally donating the cushions she stored the money in to charity.The 76-year-old returned to the South Fremantle Salvation Army store in Western Australia last month after realising her mistake, but the two pale printed cushions were gone.“I’ve got a little bit of money in the bank which I use to pay my bills but this money was my security to help my kids if they needed anything desperately,” she said. She said keeping a portion of her money out of the bank was something she had done since the global economic crisis.
Opinion: I think that it is rather sad that all her money disappeared and she hasn't gotten it back. I am hoping that she get's it back and the person who brought the pillows brings it back.
