Woman's act of honesty inspires more kindness
When Canesha Blackman helped a stranger, she quickly found herself being helped in turn.

LAKELAND - Canesha Blackman didn't even think to open the zippered bag she found outside a city building one day last month.
The 24-year-old homeless woman just went back inside and turned it in, then returned to the task of scraping up enough change to take the bus to her job at a Checkers restaurant.
It turned out the bag belonged to a Polk County sheriff's detective and held $800 in cash. Deputy Sandy Scherer had driven off with the bag on the hood of her car. Subsequent events have changed the life of Blackman, a single mother with five children ranging in age from 6 years to 6 months, as a rather innocuous good deed has prompted a flood of goodwill from all over.
