A compassionate architect is going above and beyond mere neighborliness to deliver a heap of family memories to their rightful owners.
Brian Bononi, based in Kansas City, Missouri, was taking some measurements on a recently-shuttered photo shop at the local shopping mall when he saw a stack of more than 160 photo enlargements and knick-knacks by the back door.
The memorabilia featured photo shoots celebrating peoples' graduations, baby announcements, and family reunions—and the whole pile was on the way to the landfill because the store had closed.
After Bononi got permission to take home the store's unpaid or abandoned orders, he and his family got to work documenting each of the items so they could finally be reunited with the people who ordered them.
Since the architect's family began their labor of love last month, they have managed to deliver more than 20 different orders to their grateful families—and he doesn't plan on stopping until each order has been fulfilled.
"These are people's photos from graduation, newborns… If anyone knows anything about getting family portraits taken, [there's] coordinating outfits, a Saturday when everyone can make it," Bononi told ABC News. "Can you imagine getting there… and then never getting the canvas from this photoshoot?"
