In a remarkable instance of chessed, approximately 30 Chaveirim volunteers from across Boro Park, Queens, Flatbush, Williamsburg, and the Catskills united to help a woman who lost her rings at Hunters Point South Park in Long Island City, Queens.
The woman had removed her rings and placed them on her skirt while she and her husband washed their hands. When she stood up, the rings fell to the ground and were lost.
Responding to the call for help, Chaveirim members arrived with lighting equipment and metal detectors provided by Rockland Chaveirim. After an extensive five-hour search, conducted late into the night, the volunteers successfully located both rings, much to the relief of the couple.

How much did she tip them for their efforts?
Would they have gone to the same extent if someone lost his watch?
They saved her marriage. Is she happy now?
Mi K’amcha Yisroel!! We are such a holy nation!!!!
Are you sure they found hers? Maybe one of the volunteers donated a new ring.
I want to thank each and every one of those members (so too members that were not at this specific search but have participated in similar searches) that were out there.
1. It could have been me they were helping.
2. I feel somehow like they were Moitzi me in this tremendous Mitzvah.
Indeed, Mi K’amcha Yisroel Goy Kadosh.
I would not have wasted 5 hours of time for 30 people on 2 rings!
