Woman Saves 10 Million Without Realizing Their Value

No one took her seriously. They all just thought she was a crazy old lady and they laughed at her.

But they all realized just how wrong they were when the massive bus pulled up in front of the fancy building. That was when the truth about her actions came to light. They all finally understood what was going on, and they were all embarrassed for being so naïve.

Hard Beginnings

91-year-old Ruth Hana didn’t have a childhood that most would imagine.

It was hard, lonely, and often heartbreaking. But it was those very years that had shaped her into the woman she was now – someone that was currently sifting through millions of pieces of metal with a single goal in mind.

Locally Known

It wasn’t the first time she had done something like this.

Not that many years ago, she could be found rummaging through garbage and crawling into dumpsters. People would either be disgusted or recognize her and not give her actions a second thought. But Ruth didn’t care. Lately, however, there was a new problem.

“Too Old”

It wasn’t the fact that more eyes were on her, rather than the looks were accompanied by unwelcomed words.

She could feel her heart pressure rise any time they said, “You’re too old to be doing anything like this.” What did they expect? For her to just sit in her room and stare out the window until it was time to crawl into her coffin?

Keep Going

It had already been a hard adjustment moving into a retirement home.

But thankfully, it was a nice place with nice residents and staff that didn’t treat them like children or invalids. And, in Ruth’s case, they let her get away with a lot – which was vital for her current pop tab goal. She was getting so close.
