A woman named Evalise Hernandez from Tampa, Florida, witnessed a fellow traveler being asked to discard a package at the airport before boarding his flight. Despite not knowing what was inside, Evalise felt compelled to help and asked her boyfriend to retrieve the parcel from the trash. The contents turned out to be two snow globes, one with a picture of a young woman and her dog, and another with two elderly folks, with an inscription that read “We love you Katie nana and papa January 25th 16”. Evalise and her boyfriend were determined to help the man but struggled to find a way to do so. They eventually posted their story on Facebook, and a random contact from a souvenir shop named Things Remembered provided them with the name of the person in the picture, allowing them to return the snow globes to their rightful owner.
