One Saint John family is living through a waking nightmare.
Dawn Marie Pettinger tells CHSJ news she and her husband withdrew their life savings in cash for a down payment on a home when the envelope went missing somewhere along the way. According to her, he reached in his pocket and it was simply gone–and hasn’t reappeared despite retracing his steps, calling police, and putting an ad on Kijiji.
It was lost somewhere in the area of Thorne Avenue, Golf Street, and Moreland Trailer Park. Pettinger, who is a disabled mother of two, urges whoever found it to do the right thing. She says in these economic times she could understand why someone would want to keep the money, but wants whoever has it to think about the pain they’re causing.
Pettinger suffers from congestive heart failure and has two kids ages 2 and 5.
