Just two days ago, we reported that a 76 year old woman had lost her wedding ring during the 7pm “Clap Because We Care”. Well, one of our readers found the ring and has delivered it back to its owner!
In our original story, we mentioned that the woman’s ring had fallen out of her 13th story window on 87th and West End.
When our reader, Kathleen, made it to the block with her friend, Lynne, they realized that there was only one building tall enough to be the one in question.

During the search, the building doorman came outside to tell them that they had already looked everywhere and weren’t able to find it.
But Kathleen and Lynne kept looking.
Finally, Lynne found it sitting in a tree bed, on top of some bark. Luckily, the sun was out and shining on the ring, making it a bit easier to spot.
Lynne found the ring!
So they brought the ring back to the doorman, who told them he would check to see if the woman with the missing ring was home.
She was!
She came downstairs and was over the moon to get her ring back.
The three of them spoke for about a half an hour, exchanged contact info, and everyone left happy.
We send a huge thank you to Kathleen and Lynn for conducting the search – and to everyone who looked for it!
Awesome! Thanks to Kathleen & Lynne!
That is so great!! Thank you, Kathleen and Lynne!
Awesome! Thanks to Kathleen & Lynne!
this happy story made my day!
and reminds all of us: NEVER GIVE UP.
we all need messages of hope right now, thank you.
Wonderful story . . . All involves people of Mutual Goodwill and Love is a trying time!
What on earth were thinking? Unless they are close friends who share an apartment, they weren’t maintaining safe distance, and in fact probably shouldn’t be out at all. And they obviously couldn’t maintain distance at all from the doorman and the woman who lost the ring. Hopefully everyone involved were wearing masks.
WOMP WOMP!
They easily could have maintained physical distance. Let’s just hope they did.
They were thinking that they could help a neighbor. All this could be done while maintaining distance, wearing masks and gloves, including the thank you conversation. Why assume the worst. Please be kind and happy for everyone involved.
GIVE ME A BREAK! SO PATHETIC THAT THIS IS YOUR ONLY CONCERN IN REGARDS TO A BEAUTIFUL STORY. IF YOUR SO PARANOID ABOUT IF THEY WERE WEARING MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING LOCK YOUR SELF AWAY IN YOU MISERY AND LIVE YOUR LIFE ALONE.
How lovely to have a good bit of news! This is such great news! New Yorkers have the biggest hearts, and apparently, the sharpest eyes! Good job!
This made me so happy ??????
I love this story. Actually made my day!
Yaaasss!
We need to hear more stories like this one, to be reminded that not even a foe as relentless as Covid can conquer our shared humanity.
Ah, I’m so happy to read this update! Way to go, Kathleen and Lynne!!! #theupperbestside
I had read the article, and felt badly that the ring had been lost while someone was doing an act of kindness. That story has such a nice ending. Good going Kathleen and Lynne!
…gotta love the doorman…”hey we looked everywhere….”
We are new to the neighborhood and live across the street. This story – and the offer to manufacture a new ring from another neighbor – tells us everything we need to know about our new neighbors!
WHAT……
They were thinking in this time of death and despair that we’re all living through, that maybe, just maybe they could help a 76 year old woman find her WEDDING RING of 50 years. Which I’m sure, without even knowing this woman that lost the ring, was a heartbreaking loss. I cried when I read that she lost her ring and how/when it happened. When I read it was found, it made my day. Kind of surprised you replied with every negative response possible. I don’t go out except for groceries but it seems to me there are plenty of people not adhering to the stay at home rules for many frivolous reasons, this seemed important, especially to the lady. Thank you Kathleen & Lynn. Not everyone would have gone out of their way like you did.
Oh I so happy to hear this I prayed that it would be found! Terrific!
What a great ending! Thank you Kathleen and Lynn for being so kind.
This is just great!!! Made me so happy.
So wonderful! A little brightness in a dreary and sad time for all of us.
Gina,
It’s wonderful when we hear stories where
people are honest and return lost items
It restores our faith in Mankind!

Livia your so right, lets stop judging
People, Sarah we don’t know if these
people have had the Virus and might
be safe, let’s just look at the kindness
and humanitarian of people who
simply care.
