NYC hospital worker returns pillow money

Sat Oct 21, 7:57 AM ET


NEW YORK - The temptation was there: an envelope stuffed with $12,450 in cash, stashed under a hospital patient's pillow. But the housekeeper at St. Luke's Hospital didn't hesitate before doing the right thing. For Marie Toussaint, it was a no-brainer.

"The money didn't belong to me, and I wasn't supposed to take it," the 50-year-old Haiti native said. "That's the normal thing to do."
Toussaint found the envelope, filled with $100 bills and "a few fifties," after the patient checked out on Oct. 4. She handed it over to the nurse in charge.
A relative of the unidentified patient, an elderly woman, later collected the money.
Toussaint will be honored for her honesty next month at a hospital Thanksgiving party.
"Some people are crazy about money," she said in a telephone interview. "But my conscience would kill me if I took it, because I believe in God."
