A note from David Manning

About a week later she received a letter with her driver’s license and a handwritten message on the back of a post office receipt. The writer, identifying himself as David Manning, said he was panhandling near a Universal City offramp and found the license on April 25–26; the receipt showed a stamp purchase of more than $20. Sagehorn says the act made her emotional and relieved worries about identity theft.

Looking for the man who mailed it

Sagehorn posted a TikTok asking viewers to help locate Manning. The responses connected her with local residents and mutual aid groups, and she has revisited the intersection mentioned and written to a motel return address on the envelope, without success. Inspired by the kindness, she donated to SFV Mutual Aid and hopes the story reframes assumptions about unhoused neighbors.
