1 July 2024

According to police officers, the man brought a wallet containing about 2,000 euros to the station.





Homeless man Hajer Al-Ali, 33, from the Netherlands, said his life was completely turned upside down after kind people raised €34,102 for him in just one day.

A man who has been sleeping on the street for 18 months will now be able to finally rent a home with this money. Funds were raised using the website “Support for Honest Hajer”. The father of two has also received numerous messages from people offering him work. One anonymous user transferred 750 euros in one payment, and a total of 2,800 donations were made.



Earlier, a man found the wallet at Amsterdam Central Station while he was "doing his rounds" looking for empty plastic bottles to exchange for cash.

According to police, he handed over a wallet containing about 2,000 euros, but it did not contain any identification documents or anything that would allow contacting the owner.

“Because we believe that honesty should be paid for, he received the silver finger prize, which we sometimes give to citizens, and a gift voucher for 50 euros,” the law enforcement officials added. .



The publication notes that if the money is not claimed within a year, it will go to the finder.

"I want to thank everyone so, so, so much. I can't describe how I feel right now. People say the nicest and sweetest words to me. I don't know what to say, I'm full of adrenaline," Hajer said, saying that With the money raised he will be able to change his life for the better.
