Rainwater Blackfoot was abandoned by her

mother and put into foster care by her father.

"He was telling me that he was having a

happier life without me," she said of her

dad.

Without the help of her parents, Rainwater's life

wasn't the easiest.

"There were many years where there was

no food in the house," Rainwater says. "I

didn't have electricity for months."

Foster care and constant struggle made it

difficult for her to accept help and trust

others. "If someone tries to help me out, there is

usually a catch to it," she said.

In 2008, her father passed away and left her

$86,000. She had no idea it was there waiting

for her, until recently.

However, Inside Edition surprised her with a

giant check for $86,000.

"I could never have imagined in a million

years that all this money would be sitting

for me!" She exclaimed when she finally

found out.

Thanks to the We Find, You Keep campaign,

which provides unclaimed money to its rightful

owners, Rainwater is able to start her life over the

right way.

"It doesn't matter where you come from

or where you started, sometimes the

ending is beautiful," she said
