NYC lost-wallet owner found on Facebook
I always stated from the beginning that I would point out the good along with the bad. Here’s a good one and a great example of the good of social networking. It also proves that not all us New Yorkers are jerks… in fact, we are some of the nicest, coolest people you’ll ever meet. We stick together like a big family…
Happy Sunday

NYC lost-wallet owner found on FacebookNEW YORK (AP) _ A cyber-Samaritan is credited with tracking down a New Yorker on Facebook and returning her lost wallet.
It started on New Year’s Eve, when a cab driver found the wallet and took it to the address listed on the ID.
The owner, Allison Gubala, didn’t live there any more. The driver left the wallet with resident Irene Cheng, who promised to help.
The building superintendent didn’t have a forwarding address. But Cheng found Gubala on Facebook and sent her a message.
Besides Gubala’s ID and credit cards, the wallet contained irreplaceable photos _ including a snapshot taken with a friend who recently had died.Says Gubala: “I was so excited. … I never thought I’d get it back.”

facebook has also changed my life. I am 28 yrs old and the last time I saw my father was when I was 2 (26 yrs ago). I was told he was dead. I ended up in foster care and the at age 13 my gradprarents on my mother side got custody of me. They raised me and passed when I was 21. I had never met my father’s family and did not even know if they knew about me. On June 22, 2009 my aunt on my father side (living in Maylasia) found me on Facebook. I have since talked to my father who is living in Iran. He is very much alive and I have a big family. In one day I went from thinking I really had no family to finding out I had a very big family and a father. This would be all thanks to Facebook!!!

K. you stayed with your Grandmother for a couple of years but that certenaly does not mean that they raised you!! And dear heart you were never an neglected by your Mother! So as far as your Dad is concerned! well! He left you and your Mother when you were 2 years old, and went back to Iran!! He’s Mom called your Mother and said that Reza your father has died! This is all true! I am your Mother’s best friend! so I”m very shocked that you are making all this up!? Oh yes your fathers side did know about you, your father’s father and mother was in the United States to take there boy back to Iran!! I knew your father well,you and my daughter grew up together, Jennifer Deli remember!? also Shonna, you have 3 more sisters why didn’t you mention them to!? The truth will set you free! Lies will only hurt your Mother who raised you! and the 3 sisters you denied! I have known you all your life, and I’m very disappointed in you right now! Inci
