World War II veteran Herb Sawinski, a United States Marine pilot who went to boot camp in San Diego and worked as a journalist after his service, was 90 years old when he passed away earlier this year, in May. His loss, along with the loss of his wife Bonnie, a mother and artist who died just two months prior, is still the cause for much sorrow in their tight-knit family circle.

But thanks to their daughter, their memory lives on, and in a gloriously, redemptive spirit.

Recently, she came to the aid of a military family-focused nonprofit, who saw every dime they collected to help members of the community vanish when checks were stolen and cashed under a false name (Chuck Lamb).

Out of nowhere, the Sawinski daughter stepped up and donated the pilfered amount, she told 10 ABC News, “to have my parents’ memory recognized and their caring and generosity honored.”

With the new sizable amount, a check for $6,000, an extremely-deserving military family will now get to enjoy a free Disney cruise.

What’s more, they’re going to be awarded the tickets on Christmas morning, as a grand surprise gift, according to the nonprofit’s founder, Kenzie Hall.

As for the missing money, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is currently investigating the matter. It’s suspected that the theft occurred somewhere near their operation, in Murrieta, California.

If it’s successfully recovered, the charity already announced that it’ll go to another military family.

“It means a lot that somebody was compelled enough to help out, and now this family just gets to be a family and the kids only have to worry about being kids on vacation, so it’s really exciting.”
