Woman Raises $34,000K For Homeless Man Who Spent His Last $20 To Keep Her Safe by BolajiBanwo: 1:57am On Nov 23, 2017

Last month while travelling to Philadelphia, Kate McClure didnt expect that she will run out of gas when suddenly her car stopped. she never knew that her misfortune would give her the opportunity to change someone else’s life.

When Kate pulled over on the side of I-95, McClure, 27, she was approached by a homeless man named Johnny. She was apprehensive at first, but Johnny told her to get back into her car and to lock the doors while he walked to get her help. He went to a nearby gas station, used his last $20 fill a can and brought it back to fill up her car.

Grateful, but without a dollar to repay him, McClure promised she would come back with something.
Kate with her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico launched a GoFundMe campaign, for the homeless man putting an ambitious $10,000 goal and hoping to rein in a few hundred dollars to book Johnny a motel for a few nights where he could clean up, and start to get back on his feet.

As of Wednesday, November 22, 2017, the campaign has garnered more than $34,000 in donations, and continues to grow.
“It just blew up,” McClure said, noting that donors have come forward with $5, $10 or even several hundred after she’s shared the GoFundMe to various Facebook groups.

Johnny, who’s 34, told McClure and D’Amico he has been homeless for about a year. He said he was previously a certified paramedic, and also served in the Marine Corps

Doesn't work here in Nigeria. Instead you will see something like "hard working homeless man gives woman his last money, lets encourage him to do more, good Nigerian citizen" then she will snap picture with him and put on Instagram. Useless country.
