BOSTON (WCVB/CNN) - A Boston homeless veteran's good deed changed his life.

David Keeling, 52, has been homeless for nearly seven years. He served his country in the Navy until a back injury forced an honorable discharge. Keeling, who has a teenage daughter, says his life began unraveling when his marriage fell apart, his father died of cancer and when he took care of his mother who died of Alzheimer's.

"I did everything right, what a son should, hit me hard, took a couple of years, two, three years to get over," Keeling said.

Now Keeling is Barbara Cuervo's hero because he found her purse on the street and turned it in.

Keeling says he learned right from wrong from his parents and his mother taught him never to touch a woman's purse.
