His daughter decided to look inside it and discovered $43,170 worth of cash in the ottoman cushion.
Kirby, who needs a new roof and could use the cash, felt a moral obligation to return it. He reached out to the store to find out who donated the furniture.
The couch originally belonged to Kim Fauth-Newberry’s grandfather, who died last year. Kirby met Fauth-Newberry Thursday and gave her back all the money.
"I always thought, 'What would I do if that ever happened?' And now I know, and it makes me feel good," Kirby told WNEM.
