www.yahoo.com/news/woman-raises-money-homeless-man-helped-her-125441341.html"PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A New Jersey woman who was helped by a homeless man when she ran out of gas in Philadelphia is raising money to help him. Kate McClure was heading to Philadelphia to visit a friend last month when she ran out of gas on Interstate 95. The Florence Township woman pulled over and began to worry until a homeless man approached her. The man, whose name was "Johnny," told her it wasn't safe and he bought McClure gas with his last $20. McClure promised she would return to pay him. McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, have since raised over $20,000 for the former ammunition technician. The pair hope to get "Johnny" an apartment and help with transportation." Yeah not a big headliner or anything but this is the kind of stuff I love reading about. With so much crap going on in the world its nice to read a heartwarming story like this that puts a smile on your face.

Great story, thank you for sharing.
Kudos to the guy for still caring and seeing someone in danger, I mean, I'd like to think I could do the same, but your last 20 dollars would be tough to hand over.
I hope his life turns around from here.

I think it's great to read stories like this, especially with all the BS going on in the world.

Well done to Kate, congratulations and good luck to Johnny. The world needs more stories like this just to show that human kindness still exists.
