CONCORD, N.H. -- A Concord woman who lost her wallet just days after giving birth received a welcome surprise from a stranger.
Nicole Parizo said she assumed her wallet was gone for good until she got a phone call from a man who'd just received a backpack as a gift from Target.
The man said he found her wallet in the backpack that Parizo had returned.
After her wallet was returned, Parizo found the man had left $150 inside.
"I e-mailed him and said, 'Thank you so much, I just opened my wallet.' And he said, 'You're very welcome, I know what it's like, I have four kids,'" said Parizo.
"And he said, 'All I ask, is that in returned you do something nice for somebody else,' she said.
On Saturday, Parizo spotted a bone marrow drive for Adam Castle, a Concord father of three suffering from Leukemia.
Parizo chose to join the bone marrow registry and said she thought about the man who reached out to her, while doing so.
