A California-based artist has shared a beautiful story of how a stranger's kindness helped her get back priceless artwork that she lost on a Copenhagen-bound flight. The artist, a woman named Alyse Dietel, was left miserable after she left a cardboard tube in the overhead bin that contained valuable sketches she made during her two-month stay in Iceland. She immediately contacted the airlines for help but to no avail.
Desperate to get them back, the 29-year-old artist posted an appeal about her lost artwork on Instagram. She said an airline employee named Irek Michal saw her post and offered to help. Commenting on her post, Mr. Michal promised her that he will check the lost and found section of the airline.
Miraculously, he ended up finding the lost drawings and shipped them to Ms. Dietel. What's more noteworthy is that he even refused the money she offered to pay for the shipping charges. Instead, he asked her to donate the shipping amount to a charity. As a sign of gratitude, she sent him homemade goodies and several stickers.
In an Instagram video, Ms. Dietel recounted the wholesome experience, thanking the airport employee for his kindness. She captioned the video, '' A feel-good Internet story for y'all! Thank you SO much to everyone who contributed to this happy ending by commenting, liking and sharing my post and story about it! You're the reason the algorithm showed my plea to the right person, go team! HUGE shoutout to @irek_michal for finding and shipping my tube, talk about an everyday hero!!''
