B.C. Woman Hopes For Return Of Diamond Ring Mistakenly Donated With Coins

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Dec, 2017 01:52 PM
    NANAIMO, B.C. — A British Columbia woman hopes her charitable impulse won't cost her a cherished diamond ring.
     
    Trinda Gajek was visiting Nanaimo last week when she stopped to ask a young man if he needed some help.
     
    The resident of Salt Spring Island says she dumped the contents of her change purse into her hand and gave the man all she had.
     
    Gajek says it was only later that she remembered her diamond ring was in her change purse for safe keeping, and she had inadvertently given it away, along with the coins.
     
    She says the young man received it honestly, but she's hoping the ring her children helped her buy will be returned.
     
    The ring has a thin band with baguette, or rectangular, diamonds across the top.
     
    She says it can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Community Services Centre in Nanaimo.
