Traci Brown was selling cookies with her 7-year-old daughters in D.C. when she was robbed earlier this week.
Brown and her daughter were selling the iconic cookies near Capitol Hill on Monday when a thief saw her put a bag of money in her van.
The thief took the cash before she could stop him.
She was even injured trying to catch the thief.
But a retired military man came to the rescue and transferred the money to her account.
Brown says she and the girls will be back at this week.
