Mr Huynh feared she would never see the money again.
But fortunately Good Samaritan Adem Gashi found the bag and made it his mission to return it to its rightful owner.
Mr Gashi found an address in the bag, and tracked Ms Huynh down on Monday afternoon.
He told 7 News he was travelling from travelling from Liverpool to Fairfield on Monday morning when he saw the woman leave the carriage without her bag.
‘For an old woman, I was surprised,’ he said.
Ms Huynh’s son, who took the day off work to console her, said the family will use the money to pay for his father’s tombstone.
‘My mums over the moon… to be able to pay the balance of my dad’s tombstone,’ her son said.
